The Exorcist (1973)

I'd be very surprised if you hadn't heard of this film. It's surprising how many people haven't actually seen it - except for famous bits like the 'crawling down the stairs'. Basically, a girl plays around with a ouija board a bit and subsequently becomes possessed by the devil. The story follows her mother's struggle to get her little girl back to normal. Parts of this film would be considered sick and extremely disturbing, even by todays standards, leaving you in no doubt of why it was banned. The track 'Tubular Bells' by Michael Oldfield is an eerie tune that will send tingles down your spine every time you hear it after seeing this. A classic king of horror - if you're a horror buff it's mandatory that you see it.
