"The Exorcist", because both the book and the film never explain how Regan (Linda Blair) got possessed...to me this was the biggest plot hole ever! I mean the film is good, not "GREAT", but please how can this plothole slip by, it bugs me eerytime I watch it trying to figure out how she got possessed!

I never saw the "The Excorsist" as scary!

I didn't think Netflix was "THAT" great! I do admit that have a wider selection than Blockbuster online, but what I didn't like about Netflix was that I had a trail membership, they day that Netflix was to take my 1st payment out of my checking account I had yet to get paid, so to make sure that nothing happend to my checking acct (I.E. Over-Draft etc) I called the Netflix toll-free customer service line & asked them to change the payent due date, I was told simply that they couldn't change the date, & that I would have to cancel my Netflix account, & re-open on the date I wanted the payment to come out! They advised me by doing this I would have to start all over as a new customer & lose all my films in my que. I stated no thanks and cancled. What I like about Blockbuster On-line not only do I get movies in the mail, but I can return the movie to the Blockbuster store & get a free movie right then and there W./out having to wait for the next film to come in the mail. Plus, Blockbuster also sends me up to 3 on-line coupons to me by email every month for free rentals!

Found this on MovieWeb: 101 Dalmatians Platinum Edition hits the DVD shelves on March 4, 2008, but you can get a glimpse of this DVD right now. We have an exclusive clip of one of the special features from this new DVD. Click below to watch this video you can't see anywhere else. http://www.movieweb.com/dvd/news/40/26840.php This Disney animated classic is based on the children's story by Dodie Smith. The story involves the canine pets of a struggling composer and his wife: Dalmatians Pongo (male) and Perdita (female). Perdita gives birth to fifteen spotted pups, cuing the entrance of the scheming Cruella De Vil. She demands that the dogs' owners sell her the pups, but she is shown the door instead. Under cover of night, Cruella arranges for the pups to be stolen. The human police are baffled, but the "dog network" is alerted by Pongo and sent to rescue the pups. It is discovered that Cruella has been rounding up every Dalmatian she can get her hands on, hoping to use their pelts to make one spectacular fur coat. The dogs rescue the 15 pups, plus 86 others stolen by Ms. DeVil. After an eventful escape, the 101 Dalmatians make their way home--whereupon the composer pens a hit tune, "Dalmatian Plantation". 101 Dalmatians represents the Disney animation staff at its very best, and as a bonus introduces the world to Cruella De Vil, one of the greatest movie villains--cartoon or "real"--of all time. Special Features - Disney's Virtual Dalmatians: Adopt, name, train and care for your very own virtual puppy where there are over 101 possibilities. - Puppy Profiler: Find out which dog you're most like! - 101 Pop-Up Trivia Facts For The Family & Collector: Discover 202 amazing things You Never Knew about the movie as you watch it - with 101 pop up facts for the family and 101 for the collector - All-New "Cruella De Vil" Music Video: The classic song "Cruella De Vil" gets a contemporary twist when multitalented teen Disney Channel star Selena Gomez performs the song in a brand new video! - Redefining The Line: The Making Of 101 Dalmatians: 101 Dalmatians is considered by critics to be one of the best and most innovative Disney animated films. Go behind the scenes with its creators to find out about everything - including the technological innovation of the Xerox process in animation. - Cruella De Vil: Drawn To Be Bad: Inspired by flamboyant actress Tallulah Bankhead, Cruella De Vil has become a villain that movie fans love to hate. Marc Davis, an animation legend and one of Disney's immortal "Nine Old Men" reveals how this iconic character came to be. - Sincerely Yours, Walt Disney: Experience Walt Disney and Dodie Smith's (author of the book The Hundred and One Dalmatians) actual correspondence during the movie's production. - Deleted Songs: Songs written for the film - finally come to life!

Ther was a documentry at that 2007 Sundance Film Fest called "Zoo"on the life and death of Kenneth Pinyan, a Seattle area man who died unusually after engaging in sex with a horse. It wsa the most controversial film to come out of Sundance that year, right next to a film called "Teeth". I saw "Teeth", but not "Zoo". I included info link on the film "Zoo": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_(movie)
