Carrie White #27

"This is a story of a treenage girl going through puberty, childhood relationships, proms and even murder."

"The story of a threenage girl with telekinetic powers. Carrie White was an outcast, who is pushed beyond human limits when she is cruelly taunted in front of her Prom, and she unleashed her frightening power upon the small New England town of Chamberlain in 1979."

"One of the best Stephen King adaptations ever, certainly one of the saddest, most poignant, and bitter movies I've ever seen. I feel sympathy for Carrie White that I don't feel for a lot of movie characters. Overall, this story is enough to shock, appall, and move me, despite occasional goofy comic touches like the tuxedo shopping scene and the gym detention music. Spacek is both beautiful and wonderful, but it's not just her that shines - there's John Travolta, in his first major movie role, Amy Irving, P.J. Soles who would be in "Halloween" two years later, Betty Buckley, and a sexy Nancy Allen who would go on to become director Brian De Palma's wife (for a bit) as well as work for him a few more times."
