I've always liked The Omen. It's one of the few Gregory Peck movies in which his slightly wooden personas work well with the script. And it is a very horrific movie to boot.
Patrick Troughton is great as Father Brennan, the doomed priest who tries to convince Peck of the evil in Damien, and his death was one of the better deaths in the genre.
The revelations of Damien's true "mother" and Peck's real son are probably the most horrific moments in the film...there is a subtlety to the terror that just connects with you.
David Warner is also outstanding as the photographer who tries to help Peck, and Leo McKern is great, as always, in the small role he has in the film.
