I find it funny that Linda Blair made a face about tap dancing, considering that a few yrs later she'll be Roller Boogie-ing: #TCMParty #FilmsOnFilm #BoormanAndTheDevil

"Excalibur" is a GREAT film! Meaning that Boorman got three great films made in his career, adding to "Deliverance" and "Point Blank."
Three great films in a career is an excellent achievement.
William Peter Blatty didn't want "The Exorcist III" to be called that. He wanted it to be called "Legion," the name of his novel. And he didn't want an exorcism in his sequel. But the studio wanted one and got one.
The filmmakers of #BoormanAndTheDevil really got some great interviews. Louise Fletcher's stuff is documentary gold. #FilmsOnFilm #TCMParty

Hadn't planned on watching #BoormanAndTheDevil.
I learned so much about the subject film.
Bravo.
Probably right. However, the fact that it was unlocked all the money for the budget.
The script was not written to be a sequel to the Exorcist IMO, It should have been a standalone film.

A reminder that, back in those days, an American film came out at a certain time. But the rest of the world didn't see it until months later. So, in the case of "Exorcist II," since it was in such trouble in America, it was toast in the rest of the world.
John Boorman calls himself over ambitious Hey, at least you’re trying dude We appreciate it #BoormanAndTheDevil #TCMParty
Beyond Rangoon is the only movie I've ever walked out of.
I love Excalibur The Emerald Forest but I really enjoyed The Tailor of Panama #Boormanandthedevil #TCMParty
If it hadn’t been titled and marketed as a sequel to The Exorcist, it might have been less reviled. It might have become a cult classic. #BoormanAndTheDevil #TCMParty
Has this crew member had a dog on her lap all along, and they didn't show it?
C'mere, filmmakers--I just want to talk about your editorial choices.

Jack Lewis wrote in the Daily Mirror: "It's all too ludicrous to frighten, and the only time you're likely to hide your head will be in shame for watching it.
