Both Kathy Bates and James Caan really excelled in their roles. I've heard mixed rumors about James as far as their personal life/behavior on set... especially about his relationship with Bette Midler in 'For the Boys', but in general I want to avoid the personal lives of actors, to concentrate on their roles, in this he is amazing. I also have loved Frances Sternhagen in every role I've seen her in, including this one. This depended on some real character actors to fill out the supporting roles, and I think it is stronger for it. Hollywood REALLY needs to stop concentrating on 'NAME' actors and focus on character actors with a proven track record, because they really make the film, even though they aren't on the marquee. I love actors who can put aside their egos to play the supporting roles who may end up dead (or looking like a*holes.... though that's not a thing in this move). Employ actors over stars, is what I mean, and this has some GREAT supporting roles. Those who buy their own press tend to degrade the film they've agreed to be in, and they're stronger to me when I can see they've put aside their press agents to just play a role.

This is a 10/10 horror movie for me. There's something really scary about a human being such a horrifying villain instead of a ghost because it feels real and it's something that could actually happen in real life.

I feel sorry for James Caan because Kathy Bates obviously deserved the Oscar but Caan is phenomenal at portraying that character in agony. I saw this at the movies and when those legs hit the floor the entire audience genuinely went "AAAARGH!" in sympathy lol

Stephen King is a master at making things stick with you, so now I'm glad I didn't finish the book, lol.

Kathy Bates is next level! I think she’s probably one of Hollywood’s greatest actresses of her generation.

This is definitely one of the best King film adaptations and what makes it unique is not only how it showed the world the acting prowess of Kathy Bates, but also what happens when a director and actor step out of their comfort zones. Rob Reiner and James Caan both took on this film as a way of trying something new with their respective careers, and it paid off tremendously with Reiner directing it with a keen eye to the claustrophobic horror and at times dark humor of it and with James Caan really making Paul Sheldon a character you sympathize for and really want to see survive his hellish ordeal. Great reaction guys, and I can’t wait to see what you do next. ☺️

Rip to James Cann for his best performance of his career in movies especially that film. Great reaction, gents.

Misery is a love story. Just like the other films by the same director, “THE PRINCESS BRIDE,” and “WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.”

Kathy Bates did win the Oscar for Misery and she apologized to James Caan for his legs during her acceptance speech. It was epic!

I remember watching this at the cinema, and that 'hobbling' scene, everyone who saw it felt that pain and gasped out aloud

I love this film its so good but brutal, I also laughed so much at Tom saying "look at the state of her" at the end 😂

He seized the opportunity, but he was telling the truth about the paper. No author would want to use that.

Kathy Bates gives a phenomenal performance in this film. She fully deserved the Oscar.

Wish there was a poster for Misery that said... "From the director of The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally..."

I've seen a number of your reactions and my biggest takeaway is just how much Tom reminds me of actor James Mason. Same accent, voice tone and quality, phrasing and pronunciation, and he even has a similar build and facial structure. If they would ever do a remake of "North By Northwest", Tom would be perfect casting for the role of Phillip Vandamm, or for the role of Norman Maine in "A Star is Born".(1954 version)

I think "Misery" was the first rated R movie I ever saw, at age 12. One of the great adaptations to film of a Stephen King novel. Kathy Bates is so great in this (and later, in "Dolores Claibourne"). This film, "The Silence of the Lambs," and then "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" - which apparently was the film debut of Julianne Moore - were my key horror film/thriller memories from the early '90s.

It’s so cathartic when Paul shoves the burnt pages into Annie’s mouth lol

An Oscar well deserved for Kathy Bates..

Yeah that definitely fits the book's feel and setting. Paul was reinvigorated with the Misery world because of Annie putting that fear into him about writing for his life, basically. In his thoughts during the writing, he's constantly amazed that he's enjoying writing for the characters and developing a deeper plot. There's a lot of mystery and intrigue due to stuff going on between the characters. Something that was only sparked because Annie gave him the idea for the bee sting allergy bit. That set him down a path in plotting that he'd never done in the Misery series prior. The fact that he was happy with his writing, I don't mind he published it in the novel. Doesn't really work as an ending for the film, given how differently Annie and Paul's relationship is surrounding the writing.

This was the movie that made Kathy Bates a household name. Most people had never seen her earlier and lesser known work. As her career blossomed, fans were happy to learn what a sweet and down to earth lady she is. For younger folks, it’s always fun to see their shock after watching Misery. Especially if they only know Kathy Bates from her positive protagonist roles that followed Misery.

This is one of those movies that just stayed with me since I was a kid. For many years I couldn't unsee Kathy Bates character in whatever other film she was in.. Even in Titanic I thought she was gonna pull out a sledgehammer.

In the book, he burns just a stack paper, tricking her. He saved the Misery manuscript because he realized it was one of his best he wrote.

My favorite scene, as silly as it is, is the rant, "HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE COCKA-DOOTY CAR!"

This won the Oscar for best picture!

Fun facts: the movie was shot chronologically to build up the tension between Kathy Bates and James Caan. Obviously it worked pretty good! The director Rob Reiner has a cameo as the helicopter pilot.

I rate it higher as I don’t see any flaws. Yes, Kathy won the Oscar for this and James Caan played Sonny Corleone in The Godfather. He’s a great actor too. Loved the older couple, they brought some levity to the movie. Oh man, the hobbling was the worst.

Rob Reiner was a major character in the hit 70s tv show "All In the Family" that was on for a few good seasons. I'm sure he did some acting in other things but that was his most famous part. I seem to recall he was never that interested in acting and was always more interested in being behind the camera.

This movie is a classic! They did a good job with this adaptation. I read how there is so much more crazy stuff that happened in the book that the movie didn’t cover as well.

I'm your number one fan! Can't not see stewie griffin when I hear that now

Another Rob Reiner masterpiece. That man was on a roll for a while there.

Kathy Bates with one of the most deserved Oscar wins in history. She was incredible in every scene. And by the way I love two guys fantasizing about how they would’ve escaped. The problem is she probably lives so far from the main road he would’ve had to crawl through the woods essentially. His best chance would’ve been to kill her as she’s coming back to the house from an errand so he could steal the car keys and drive to town.

I have learned one thing from this reaction... Tom takes it up the bum and Shaun prefers to swallow... LOL 😂

James Caan, who is quite an intense individual in real life, had some difficulty shooting all the scenes lying in bed. Also, he was the kind of actor with experience who didn’t have to rehearse before shooting, but Bates came from theater and asked many many takes. The two eventually made compromises to get the right balance. Caan was proud of the final results, but admit it was a real challenge. DeNiro, Pacino, Nicholson, Redford, Kline, Douglas, Dreyfuss, Ford, Hackman, Hurt, Beatty : all turned down the role of Paul Sheldon. Caan needed to get back on track his carreer and found the role interesting. I can’t imagine somebody else playing the part, just as Bates for Wilkes. It’s just the perfect match.

I have a friend named Angela Wilkes. She puts Kathy Bates' picture on her profile every Halloween.

I love this movie. The book is a lot more brutal. Inside of hobbling Paul, Anne actually cuts of his foot and than castrates it with a blow torch. She cuts of his thumb when Paul complains about the missing “n” on the typewriter. She runs over a police officer with her lawnmower. Etc. I still think this movie is phenomenal, and the acting is extraordinary.
