I'll be the second to back The Sentinel as a great ghost story with some unique visuals moments. I agree with Straker about how successful it is at creating atmosphere. The final scene is a horror classic that is sure to stick with the viewer for a while. Although it's a mainstream film, the touch of sleaze and "little person" ghosts give it a slightly exploitative tone. I have it at #13 on my list for the 70s.
