As I said we'll just need to agree to disagree.....I would agree about the technical points you make about THE EXORCIST,all stunning indeed,but IMO there's something special about THE WICKER MAN-The scenery,the music,the Pagan weirdness,the locations,the mystery and the sledgehammer to the head finale-something which DON'T LOOK NOW also has,and when it comes to cinematography,well it's rarely surpassed.
Venice has never looked so drab,sad but beautiful.......simply amazing.
