When Sorceror was originally released it had about the first 45 minutes cut from the beginning of the film. I went to see the re-release at the Astor which had a Q&A with Friedkin afterwards (and then a write up in THE Age which you may be able to find I guess.) He did explain why it was called Sorceror, but I'm drawing a blank about the answer at the moment.

I'm impressed you managed to watch this many films between looking after two kids. I'm way behind on my movie watching (and book reading). *and* I thought you were moving house! :)
