To Live and Die in L.A. -- William Friedkin R.I.P.

I'm speechless. One of the greats of modern cinema, one of the original "New Hollywood" directors of 1970s. He made it all look so dangerously real.

Sorry to hear of the passing of William Friedkin. THE EXORCIST is great, but for me the real classic was SORCERER.
- For me, it's time for a rescreening of Sorcerer! 🌉🚚🌉
I still remember the lines literally around the block in Westwood for The Exorcist.
- WOW! That's incredible! I was going to mention in the original post The Exorcist is one of the handful of films that I can't do, or more correctly, can't watch all the way through. 👿 😱 Call me a milquetoast if you will! 🤣
