Same here. I have a copy of it within a DVD boxset of 20 other films. But how many people bought it by itself? I doubt anywhere near the numbers of some of the other films I listed (like Jaws).
I just said the Exorcist because I know many talk about seeing and loving it. While I know it is an unpopular opinion, but I think that the Exorcist, as a film not considering its cultural effects, is not a particularly strong movie. It was unique for its time and was not bad, but there are plenty of other more compelling films from the same period. Even the Amityville Horror was a better film, in my opinion. Granted, that is a little off topic.

Jaws is a really good guess. Friday the 13th is another very plausible choice. I do not think a whole lot of people have the Universal classics. I love them, but I am not sure how many of the general public, even the horror crowd, actually own them.
