The Exorcist, William Friedkin’s second masterpiece in three years (The French Connection), is now available on Blu-Ray in an extended director’s cut. Too bad I no longer have an Amazon sponsorship (thanks, Denver lawmakers!), because I highly recommend that those of you with a Blu-Ray player add this one to your home video libraries.
