Posted October 10, 201410 yr http://www.chicagonow.com/beyond-words/files/2011/07/vertov-camera.jpg Hii all and welcome to a new EVENT occuring in the Cinema Forum: The Great Cinema Chain. The concept is simple and it's a great way to discover new films, or research films you already know to help keep the chain going. So either way it's a cinema lover's DREAM. I will kick start the thread by posting a film, and the aim is to continue the chain by replying to that film with a film of your choice that in some way links to it. The links could be very obvious or very obscure. Some examples could be: Another film from the same directorA film that shares an actor/actressA film from the same year A film that has won an award that the previous film has also wonThe plot of the films could be very similarA specific technique that the films deployAnything else you can think off...! Try and make interesting links and present us with interesting films as well as big obvious ones. Also COMMENT on the films that appear and that you post to make the thread an interesting read. If the person previous to you posts a very obscure film, do a bit of research on it and see if you can still make a link. If not wait and someone else should be able to do it. In your post you MUST explain the link that you have made and if possible give a little more information if it's an obscure film. The key rule is, we must not let the chain die :o Got it? Good.

October 10, 201410 yr Author Don't know that one so struggled a little, but i did find that the score was composed by Jack Nitzsche who funnily enough also worked on 'One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest' taking us full cycle :P But along with that, he offered some original scores for 'The Exorcist', so let's go with that just because...
