johnnydoom I'm not sure I'd characterize SofL and Jaws as horrors, but I guess they are in their own way. As for the Exorcist, I love that movie. I can remember the controversy and response when it came out. Quite the shocker at that time. But I've seen it now about 50 times and it is a great movie. I was an usher throughout high school, so I've seen a lot of movies multiple times. The more popular the movie, the longer it stuck around, and the more times I saw it. I've seen Coal Miner's Daughter over a hundred times and it's still my favorite movie. (Don't even ask me how many times I've seen The Sound of Music!).
It was a laugh when all of us ushers were out partying. All night long we'd be talking using lines out of movies, often not even knowing we were doing it. Many times I pulled the line out of the Exorcist, "The power of Christ compels you!," and, if time and the situation allow warranted it, I'll follow up with the one of the final lines in that scene, "God the holy spirit commands you!" Sometimes this line would be pulled out at the stupidest times: "Can I take this putt?" "Can you? You must! The power of Christ compels you!" While this was always fun with my usher friends, it has caused some confusion over the years, like the time my elderly mom asked if she could have another helping of something at dinner when she was visiting. LOL
