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?

      Thanks.  Yes, I believe this is his first time with the BDWs.  Was O'Connor still listed with the BDWs?

      The flow of each episode has been so much better

      And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.

      I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.

        They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.

      If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.

      I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.
