The Fear of God: 25 Years of The Exorcist (1997) - Nick Freand Jones

Any film about The Exorcist (1973) - William Friedkin is bound to be fraught with trivia and clips of those oh-so-naughty scenes. And it was. Someone walked out of the screening when the scene of Linda Blair as Regan masturbating with a crucifix came on. What were they expecting?
Mark Kermode was in attendance (as pictured here with director/producer Nick Freand Jones); he presents the documentary itself and was a very interesting speaker, giving us much more insight into the film than he could in the documentary itself. Speaking of, the film itself was good, giving us a varied point from all of the main cast and directors and writers. I think if it had been left any later than 1997, many of the older cast members would no longer be with us to be interviewed (dead, basically).
