    Misery

    I'm a fan of the Stephen King novel so I thought i'd check out the movie, I wasn't really expecting much since most King adaptations are horrible, but I was pleasantly surpsrised. Kathy Bates really does a great job at scaring the shit out of you and is one of the best adaptations IMO.

    What do you think of this film?

    I liked this because it is a good story, well-acted and it appealed to me cuz I like a bit of darkness in my movies. The hobbling scene was mad. I also really liked the sheriff John '' Buster'' MCain.....Farnsworth ,a cynical old guy with a dry sense of humor. The brief bursts of violence makes this a frightening realistic tale. imo

    Love the film my fav. King film next to The Stand. Kathy Bates does an excellent job. I couldn't see anyone else playing this role.

    I've only recently read the book and watched the film. There's a few differences but both the book and film were great.

    Love this movie. Kathy Bates deserved the Oscar she won for it. And James Caan is also amazing in it.

    That's very true, I thought the Hobbling was a nice substitute. Only other Book and Film I like is Battle Royale or To Kill A Mocking Bird.

    The source of the best Oscar clip, ever. They took the leg scene up until the point where she started to swing the hammer ("It's for the best...") and then cut it. You could hear the entire auditorium go "ooooooooh!"

    Then she won Best Actress and it was followed by an equally audible gasp.

    Great moment.

    Stephen King has had a few good movies but Misery really stands out. I haven't read the novel but I heard it is just as good. Great film.
