September 30, 200719 yr I think this is a great movie. Anybody else watched it? Enjoy it? Starring Kathy Bates (awesome in the movie!) & James Caan. Novelist Paul Sheldon (Caan) crashes his car on a snowy New England road. He is found by Annie Wilkes (Bates), the "number one fan" of Paul's heroine Misery Chastaine. Annie is also somewhat unstable, and Paul finds himself crippled, drugged and at her mercy.
September 30, 200719 yr Great movie! I love when he crams the ashes from the manuscript down her throat in the end. True poetic justice.
September 30, 200719 yr Bates is awesome in that movie. She was an upset winner for Best Actress at the Academy Awards. Well deserved!:ylsuper:

September 30, 200719 yr It was a pretty good movie, still can't watch the part where she breaks his legs.
September 30, 200719 yr I loved the book (Stephen King). As with all movies,it falls short of the book.I WILL say this..of all the movies made from a King book,this comes the closest to capturing the mind of Stephen King (scary isn't it??)..and the casting was superb...Kathy Bates was the perfect pick..unlike some of the characters in the Stand (Molly Ringwald as Franny....COME ON!!!!!) A good movie,Scarface..not one of my favorites,but a good movie nonetheless!!!
September 30, 200719 yr I loved the book (Stephen King). . The only King book I have ever read. Great book.
September 30, 200719 yr The only King book I have ever read. Great book. Try the 'Stand' and 'Hearts in Atlantis'...think you might like both..then go from there!
September 30, 200719 yr Try the 'Stand' and 'Hearts in Atlantis'...think you might like both..then go from there! The Stand mini-series was awesome. Casting was perfect. Followed the book to the letter. Pretty hard considering the length of the book.
September 30, 200719 yr Try the 'Stand' and 'Hearts in Atlantis'...think you might like both..then go from there! My favorite was the Dead Zone...
September 30, 200719 yr I thought Kathy Bates did a good job. She really acted like a crazy murderer.
October 1, 200719 yr They thought someone did a better job than her? Her performance in that movie has to be one of the top performances of all time. Joanne Woodward (Mr. and Mrs. Bridge) and Angelica Huston (The Grifters) were considered the favorites.
