A Very Special Day ...
Today is 1/22/08. I noticed the Full Moon in the early morning sky on my way to work and suddenly I remembered! Today is the 49th birthday of the best actress of the past several generations! In my humble opinion, she is the most talented and stunningly beautiful actress in my lifetime! That's right... Linda Blair is 49 today. Barely a year older than me, she has litterally been the object of my dreams ever since my first viewing of The Exorcist (!) at the age of 13 ! I guess you had to be there... Anyhow, as a tribute to one of the most talented and beautiful actresses of all time and if I was going to be a 'stalker' she is the one I would pick, I would like to present my list of my favorite Linda Blair movies, which means ALL of them that I have seen, in chronological order... PS: I will refrain from commenting on these movies (as much as I can) and let you look at the SPOUT reviews or the IMDB reviews in order to keep this as short as possible... Let's just say that I would 'highly' recomend ALL of the movies on this list! Those that are marked with a * at the end are EXTRA HIGHLY RECOMENDED! 1. The Exorcist (1973) - STILL the scariest movie ever made and a true masterpiece! ** 2. Born Innocent (1974:TV) - This might have been the 'birth' of the modern 'women-in-prison' flick except filmed with underage girls! Not that there is anything wrong with that... ** 3. Airport '75 (1974) - Great Movie! I am shutting up now ... 4. Sarah T. - Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic (1975) - a little too close to home... * 5. Sweet Hostage (1975:TV) * 6. Exorcist II : The Heretic (1977) ** 7. Stranger In Our House (1978: Wes Craven!) * 8. Ruckus (1981) - this one is kinda interesting because it appears to be a direct rip-off of First Blood ! Until you realize that this one was actually made FIRST! * 9. Hell Night (1981) - An EXCELLENT 'monster(s)-slashing-teenagers' movie that ranks right up there with the best of them... ** 10. Chained Heat (1983) - This is THE 'women-in-prison' movie by which all others are judged.... Linda Blair invented this art-form and perfected it! ** 11. Savage Streets (1984) - This is one fun movie! When 'tough-girl' Linda Blair's little sister, (Linnea Quigly)is BRUTALLY beaten and gang-raped, Linda arms herself and goes out looking for revenge... Linda Blair is semi-nude in the bathtub... flashback to 'The Exorcist' ... except a bit older so now it is OK ... ** 12.
