I can't see why they made such a fuss about The Exorcist - I thought it was funny. And quite cheesy effects, too. That bit with the woman on the bed who's head rotates is hilarious.

Or am I missing the point? ;)

The movie was released in 1974/75 so the effects were good for that time. Even the original Star Wars looks pretty bad against todays technology.

Your missing the point like an English Batsman trying to defend a Shane Warne arm ball.
