Okay scary movies have been the most fun.

I'm not a big fan of The Exorcist. I saw that in theaters, also. Scary, but it was designed to be shocking (for the time.) I watched it again not too long ago (within the last few years), and it's still unsettling. As I mentioned previously, Aliens is a good follow-up to Alien. From a franchise perspective. It's not a horror movie, it's an action movie. James Cameron. Given the choice between the two, I will always choose Aliens over Exorcist, because Aliens is a much more fun movie. Now... if you asked me Exorcist vs. David Lynch's Eraserhead, I'd choose Exorcist. Even though I own Eraserhead (and don't own Exorcist), that movie was so disturbing. It was like watching an incoherent nightmare. I doubt I'll ever watch it again. But... who knows... I just put it out there in the ether. If you decided to watch it, I'd watch it with you. But... please don't. Okay? :)

Aliens is a better film than Exorcist (fight me.) But Exorcist has legacy "Scary Movie" status (I dunno, I never thought it was that scary...) So either is a good pic - but at some point, you should push thru Aliens, Alien 3, and maybe even Resurrection - just to round out the epic that is Ellen Ripley.

Yep Aliens is definitely worth a go after watching Alien. Most people - me included - think that Aliens is even better than Alien. Being one of the rare examples where the sequel surpasses the original movie. No surprise because actually James Cameron directed it! With much more budget than the first movie, of course. Thus you already know there is lots of fun action to be expected! ;) The Exorcist definitely a classic horror movie you should watch by occasion. Some scenes are iconic - kinda in the same spirit as the movie Carrie. The movie was scandalized by the Catholic church when it came out for obvious reasons. I like the Exorcist mostly because of its prog rock soundtrack. Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells album is hypnotizing. Fun fact: Mike Oldfield wasn't even asked to give permission for his music being used in the film.

Make sure it's the theatrical cut of exorcist

I don't know if Aliens is *better than* Alien. It's a different kind of movie. I tend to prefer the original because I like its quieter, more suspenseful tone. Cameron's sequel is a great kinda scary action romp. Apples and oranges.

Apple and oranges, maybe true. But I would argue the sequel is not only defined by being more action oriented, Besides the higher production value, there is more contour given to the characters, especially Ripley. (Not talking about the size of underwear here :) ) *spoiler ahead* Or take the concept of the exosuit, for instance, which was ground-breaking at that time. Something like this had not ever been seen before in a sci-fi film, at least to my knowledge.

yes hope we can do Aliens in November if not next week! I've avoided The Exorcist, it looked too gross to be scary-- but I guess I'll find out lollll

It's worth a watch just to experience what made it such a critical classic in its genre. I think it definitely helped shape the genre moving forwards. ^_^

Have to watch Aliens since you watched Alien, obviously. I think the The Exorcist is a really good film. But it also gets hyped up for being "the scariest film of all time"...which it was, at that time. But kind of also gets hamstrung with that label "it wasn't that scary...what's all the hype about". Just go into it as a good film to experience.

Yeah I think I already know to go in with all that context. Like there's no way I'm going to be scared, but in terms of horror history I think it'll be great!

I should probably change my name since I've had it before the following story. I adopted a one eyed kitten, Bandit!, several years back. He chose me when I went to the shelter. I sat down in his room to get to know him and he just came over and plopped down in my lap like we'd obviously known each other for years. He was seriously the best but he passed away from FIP. I was devastated and it's taken me a really long time to open up again. But I've slowly come around and now take care of an older. homeless cat (Benny), who's not 'mine' and comes and goes as he pleases so it's a nice middle ground for me. And sorry for the wall of text to your question. Losing Bandit! killed me so I can yap for days about him.

Yeah, I'm an idiot. Seems obvious in hindsight that of course, you being you, you'd already know that and didn't need to be told.
