The Exorcist: Tues 2.15pm

For some reason this film was extremely popular to say the least. It was probably the incredible publicity it received. After all when you are told that the girl star vomits bile at priests, masturbates with a crucifix, and turns her head 180 degrees among other things it it not surprising. And it is always worth seeing a film this popular in order to see why so many people went to see it.

The make up job of the century which caused many a theatre worker a nauseating time cleaning up vomit from theatre seats.

Harold and Maude. Wed. 2.15 pm.

A film about two wildly incongruous lovers on a stolen police motorcycle.

Once this film had become known by a few people the word got around and people flocked to see it. It played for more than two years in some of the world's best movie cities.

A film full of morbid things like fake suicides and death and a a love affair between a young man and an 80 year old woman But statistics have shown that a good proportion of people see the film more than once.

Don't Look Now: Thurs. 2.15 pm.

A film by Nicolas Roeg of Performance and The Man Who fall to Earth.

This it a much better film than these other two. It is one of the best psychic horror movies made. It stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, both in great form.
