Raiders of the Lost Ark:
Phat Exorcism scene

If you're curious, however you can watch how Raiders of the Lost Ark performed one such event.
An exorcism was an ancient ritual that was frequently criticized by the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholics believed that such a ritual was an arcane ritual that should not be made into a movie. To safeguard their faith the church was said to have prohibited the production of a horror film about an exorcism.
