Very different ending, for example. (And why they changed Room 217 to Room 237 for the film is beyond me...) But I admit there's no substitute for watching Jack Nicholson devour the scenery like a starving man.

According to IMDb, they changed Room 217 to 237 because the real owners of the hotel used felt that people would never want to use that room if they saw the movie, thus costing them (the owners) extra.
I've read the book, but I was never much of a fan of King's work.
And yes, the list of people who can five
The Exorcist WOULD be kinda slim, as I've said. Hell,
I passed out!
