We have to have the Carrie thread just like last time. This is my all time #1 favorite movie. One of the best thrillers ever!! Sissy Spacek was magnificant!! Thank heavens she recieved an Oscar nomination for this role. Piper Laurie was equally terrific as well..and her nom was a delight as well. Brian Depalma released one sensational movie to the world when he made Carrie. It is a true classic that will stand the test of time. in my books.

I can only watch it once a year. It's such a timeless classic that it would ruin it watching it more. And, I love the fact that it's a dram, not a horror movie. The horror really doesn't come until the last 15 minutes of the movie, but the buil-up is second to none.

So much so that whoever made that NBC t.v. movie trying to turn it into a series hopefully got fired after it aired. That was utter crap.

So sorry, Cassie.......They're all going to laugh at you!............I should have given you to God when you were born, but I was weak and backsliding..........All-time classic.

We are in total concert. But to me, the moment that will always be THE most chilling in the whole film is the shot when she walks out of the doors, and all you see is the fire going to the roof of the gym. That black figure sends chills up and down my spine. BD did a fantastic job with the cinematogrophy in this picture, and the minimal use of split-screen adde to the tension.

It makes me sad too Titan. When Tommy told Carrie that she was beautiful and touched her face..the tears just flow from my eyes. This move is so tragic. By the way Titan..u watching it this month?

"Eva was weak...Eve was weak...say it"- Margaret White (Piper deserves alot of credit as well)

    • Surely you are exaggerating-there must have been several mentions of Abbott Communications.
    • I thought she started to deal with medical issues that ultimately caused her death in 1994? Not sure but I thought I had read that she battled illness for quite a few years. Perhaps it started when she decided to leave the show? She was so fantastic. I will say that she and David Forsyth worked so well together; it was the only reason I watched Mayer's five months of storylines.  Thanks for posting all these SFT episodes. Boy, the Nicholson/Mayer time was a mess of some positives but mostly negative. I wonder if Mayer was hired by Ellen Barrett (or if P&G tried to get Labine and Mayer although I doubt the budget would have allowed for both) then she was let go for some reason; and/or if Erwin had months left on his contract with P&G after EON was cancelled and they placed him there before he retired. Losing Sheri then Lisa Peluso was the death knell for this struggling show. Mayer's circus story was inane.  Casting Michelle Joyner big miss; she was awful as was (and always after) John Loprieno. I don't know how that guy stayed employed on soaps for so many years. The positives were Joe Lambie, Lee Godart.  Louann Gideon was lovely but completely miscast as Liza.  Mayer fired four scriptwriters, only keeping Nancy Williams who went on to great work at GL for a decade then Passions.

      Not her getting sad over the Febreze!
    • Today when Anita and Vernon were talking about Bill, they referenced whatever mystery thing he covered up.  This time, with how they worded it, it seemed to be a cover-up about *them*.  So now I wonder if it was something else *in addition* to the Martin secret.
    • She really got to me today. She's doing a great job making Eva a character you just can't help but root for.

    • O'Connor was listed as both breakdown and scriptwriter this week in the few episodes I saw and he wrote one script this week.
