The Ninth Configuration

The Ninth Configuration gets lost, maybe forgotten, between The Exorcist and The Exorcist III, but its exploration of faith still fits. It is not a horror movie, more a dark comedy/fantasy. I liked it more than I thought I would. It has a similarity to MASH (movie) in style and feel. Yes, certain things feel old, but not what I’d call dated. It’s just simpler. I might need to watch this Trilogy of Faith all together at some point.

one thing about old movies is, someone’s gonna be smoking a damn cigarette at multiple points

This movie is perfect. I've been looking for this exact type of movie for so long. The humor, the setting, the mystery, the great plot twist, and an emotional ending. Can't believe I've never heard of this until a couple days ago
