I love how Annie is so dumb that Paul constantly makes fun of her and she doesn't get the joke/insult. Like when he flips her off and she goes "You kidder". Same with Paul purposefully mispronouncing Dom Perignon just like she did.
Great reaction Dawn. Annie didn't fake her own death. She murdered a fellow Nursing student. She likely viewed her as a threat, and/or was harboring jealous feelings. For what reasons, we can only guess.
I loved 2 things about this film. First, it proved that James Cann could play something else besides tough-guys and shine doing it. Second Bate's Oscar-Winning, scary psycho performance. I think its one of King's top 3 all-time for sure. Happy Halloween, Dawn!
Kathy Bates is one of the best actors I've ever seen. I can't recall anything less than stunning performances from her. In this film she pulls off the portrayal of someone with shockingly severe bipolar and borderline personality disorder as well as anyone sane could be expected to.
When you feel the need for something heartwarming with a few tears - the actor that plays the sheriff is the main character in The Straight Story - David Lynch’s least alarming movie It’s about an old man driving his lawnmower across America to reunite with his estranged brother
So many films try and shock their audiences with blood and gore, yet Misery created one of the most shocking scenes ever with the bloodless hobbling scene.

Interesting fact: This film shares the same screenwriter and director as THE PRINCESS BRIDE (William Goldman and Rob Reiner respectively). Talk about incredible range! Speaking of which, this film was part of an incredible hot streak for Rob Reiner. He made STAND BY ME (1986), THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987), WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (1989), MISERY (1990), and A FEW GOOD MEN (1992) all back-to-back.
@@axr7149 How about "Primary Colors"? It was directed by Rob Reiner & is great too. He even had a good cameo in it. great I can't remember exactly, when it came out? Presumably sometime in the 1990's
You reacted just as the filmmakers hoped we all would to "the hobbling" scene. They were so clever editing this. You see the first foot get hit and the sound is awful. But the next one is not shown, but everyone who close their eyes still remember it and the sound of cracking bone is even louder the second time over. So even if you cover your face it's still worse than seeing it. Image and sound editing used for evil! Pure genius.
The man who played the Sheriff Richard Farnsworth was in a 1999 movie called The Straight Story. It is based on a true story about a man who travelled 240 miles and went from Iowa to Wisconsin to see his brother who was sick . He doesn't have a driving licence so he used a 1966 John Deere Lawn Mower. The persons real name was called Alvin Straight . It's worth a look it's a good movie with a fantastic Soundtrack. Apparently, in real life within less than a year after this movie Richard Farnsworth killed himself because he had Terminal Cancer. R.I.P
Great film, tender, sweet, sad, funny, uplifting with some very touching performances and a great soundtrack by Angelo Badalementi. A lot of people getting into David Lynch make the mistake of skipping this one as it isn't in the vein of his usual surrealist horror, but it's a beautiful film.
The thing with her is that she offed her husband, but clearly always wanted a kid since she started to go off in the hospital and cause "accidental" deaths. Then the pig was to her like a.. surrogate to a child, which is why it was so important to her.
The headcanon that Kathy Bates had with Reiner(though it wasn't widely shared)was that Annie was sexually abused by her father when she was younger. The book goes further that she murdered her father, roommate at the nursing school, a man she said was her lover(though Paul more thinks internally the guy visited and said the wrong thing, setting her off)and more.
@@phousefilms Yes, you should read the book. Although in the book Annie doesn't break Paul's legs, but cuts off (hobbling scene!!) his other leg. And later the thumb of one hand, because Paul complained, I can't remember what about. And Paul read a lot more of that book of Annie's memories on his "getaway" while Annie was away. And Annie really does seem to have more than one kind of mental health problem, probably because of what was implied in the book. She's clearly psychotic/anti-social, manic, and then she has those periods where she has certain kinds of thoughts and doesn't take care of herself, or her household, but goes to her special place to be until she's back to her so-called better self. Sort of a cycle. And she also goes into the category of the kind of crazed fan who can't tell the difference between reality and fiction. Although I think she's more of a fan of the Misery books than the author himself. Although she also admires the author, but probably only because of the Misery books.
I believe, in the book, that the children were (in Annie's words) "cockadoodie brats". With her violent temper, not hard to imagine bad things happening.
Dawn, since you like westerns, please consider "Eldorado" (1966), starring John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. I mention it here because it also stars a very young James Caan in what must have been one of his first film roles. It has a great deal of similarity to "Rio Bravo" (1959), which I think you have already watched.
I read it was based on Mark David Chapman, who got Stephen King's autograph and then, one hour later, went and shot John Lennon. So King decided to write about fan obsession.
18:42 "Tell her you were masturbating." Oh Dawn, you always crack me up!! I can't imagine how it would be to watch this for the first time with you when you're making all these jokes and funny remarks! xD I too have penguin figurines standing about in my flat. Does that mean I may be as crazy about you as Annie is about Paul? xD The foot scene is what really puts this movie on the map. Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden

Such a great movie! Perfectly paced and acted. And more relevant today than ever with celebrity worship. You can feel his helplessness. Feels like rear window...but I'm still bummed about the sherrif
The price for a bottle of Dom Perignon depends largely on how old it is. After bottling, Dom Perignon releases the bottles in 3 stages. The first is P1 (Plentitude 1) after 7 to 9 years. The second release is P2 released after 12 to 14 years. P3 is released after a MINIMUM of 20 years. In 2019 a 1971 P3 vintage was sold at Sotheby's for $47,780. So, you CAN get a $300 bottle of Dom Perignon, but you're basically getting the drive-in fast food version.
No one recognises his publisher who was played by Lauren Bacall. She starred in a lot of films with Humprey Bogarde and was married to him . One of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. This was her last film.
Her last role was in 2012 in 'The Forger' and her last work as a voice actress was in 2014 for an episode of 'Family Guy'. After Misery, she was involved in 32 productions, 25 of them as an actress and seven as a voice actress.
Got to see Bruce Willis perform in the Broadway production of this in New York City about 8 years ago, and the hobbling scene was wild! Done just like in the movie, but live before our eyes. The production wasn’t exceptional, but it was such a cool show.
I have to agree with you, while Halloween is high on my list of great days, Groundhog Day is my favorite. Punxsutawney Phil rules. Also, it is a low-pressure holiday. Did I forget a present, no Halloween candy (Of God! I'm getting egged) (I also run the risk of forgetting presents as it's my mom's Birthday. Yep, I'm a Son of a Witch!), no terrifying family dinner, or am I really one year closer to pushing up the daisies. And don't get me started on Columbus Day, the moron thought he was in India. I would greatly welcome a change to Leif Erickson Day or Ugh the Caveman/woman who crossed the Bering Straits Day.
Dawn Marie...I subb'ed for you, for I saw your reaction to apocalypse now...and you said you hate to see men cry.....Im a former combat veteran and it shows you have sweet heart.....all the best from the USA
That hobbling scene - the one shot in particular - is so hard to watch, and it's probably way worse than the book when she chopped his foot off and then used a blow torch to cauterize the wound. This makes the second great Stephen King adaptation that Rob Reiner directed, after "Stand by Me", and all by the guy who directed "This is Spinal Tap", "The Princess Bride", and "When Harry Met Sally".
Just a side note; you have seen Richard Farnsworth before... several times. Not that you would remember him, but his first acting gig was as a jockey in The Marx Brothers "A Day At The Races" back in 1937. He also had small parts in The Outlaw Josey Wales, Blazing Saddles, The Cowboys, and Gone With The Wind. Sadly, he suffered very painfully from a terminal cancer and took his own life at age 80. That was in the year 2000.
And basically the most realistic bad guy. Because many public figures have equally crazed "number one" fans. And there have been a couple of fans in the headlines who have actually killed the object of their admiration. Plus, I guess King got the idea from the fact that he too has had these "Number One" fans, who were not exactly sane, but at least they never went quite as far as Annie in his story. There's nothing wrong with being a fan as long as you keep your common sense and don't start fooling around and imagining the completely impossible things.
James Caan is one of my favorite actors. Besides playing Sonny in The Godfather and this movie, he was also in Thief, The Gambler and Rollerball. All bangers!
Ah, I hardly remember the movie, but the novel was cool. One thing I miss in the the movie is that the "leg treatment" is not the same as in the novel (it's kind of a step up in nastiness compared to the movie).
Great reaction Dawn. I'm your number one fan. 😅 The sheriff and his wife are one of my favorite movie couples ever. Just love them. Another Stephen King movie for you is Firestarter.
@DawnMarieX, your reaction to this movie was great. I've never seen someone constantly talking about what Annie's pig would do, lol. I hate it when Buster is killed, he was such a good character. The suspense in this movie is up to the levels of Hitchcock. There is also a nice amount of humor in this movie too. Thanks again, for this reaction, Dawn. I love your Ghostbusters shirt.
Great movie What always piss off about the movie is what happen to the sheriff (In the book it is even worse), He is such nice guy. but that is horror movies for you and that is why I almost never watch horror movies . Another Steven King adaptions is The Dead Zone which had a great tv show as well as a movie.
Stephen King is not above writing about a character for chapters on end; motivations, strengths, development, deep-seated fears, hopes, and dreams...AND now he's deceased.
Happy halloween, Dawn! Misery is an excellent choice... and here are a few other suggestions for quality movies for a quality girrrl: Smoke (1995), The Name of the Rose (1986) and Rob Roy (1995). And these are movies that there are probably no other reaction videos to, so you´ll be a pioneer of sorts with these :-)
That hobbling scene gets me every time! Makes my ankles hurt! I agree dawn i can't unsee that scene! I was rooting for the sheriff too but... well... Thanks Steven King! Lol. Thanks Dawn Marie ❤️💛
RIP James caan. I forgot i have his autograph. I also used to watch his son’s dog Dot while he played softball with my ex boyfriend. And John Hamm and Jake Gyllenhaal lol
That was her father, not her husband. The honors nurse was a schoolmate she murdered so she'd be top student. Murdering babies probably means see was sterile, barren womb, and so she was angry at both new moms and infants
I always saw it as she lost her mind and turned violent for minor things, like she almost did several times with Paul, and small children can be annoying quite often. So I think she snapped from time to time and killed a few babies. I can't remember what the book said about it though. Long time since I read that one.
Give me heads up yeah it was they're talking about if you should publish that and remember that tragedy for the rest of his life because it's published
Richard Farnsworth didnt start acting until he was in his 40's. Up to then, he had been a stuntman. He mostly did Westerns, but he was in Gone With the Wind, but uncredited. I think he was in the 10 Commandments. He was a coach/friend of Robert Redford in The Natural. He was in another movie with James Caan and Jane Fonda, Comes a Horseman, a very good movie. The Grey Fox, about an old outlaw who gets out of jail. I, Tom Horn, one of those mostly fictional true stories Holkywood loves to put out
Your summary is right on target Dawn. Bates is the first actress to win the Oscar for a horror film and she nails it. The TV series you're thinking of is her new one on CBS - a reboot of sorts of MATLOCK. Caan is underrated for his performance IMO (often the tough guy persona on screen a big departure that he pulls off in spades). Stephen King said he was terrified by Bates' performance. Farnsworth is in THE NATURAL too.
7:03 -- RE: Her True Colors; So Yeah, tell us more about how it's understandable she's a creepy stalking predator because her lived experience gives her a 2-tier pass to being abusive the rest of her life.
Dawn if you're interested in seeing another Kathy Bates fantastic performance in another Stephen King adaptation, I HIGHLY recommend watching Dolores Claiborne (1995). Her performance in that is remarkable. A very sad story though.
Kathy Bates won an Academy Award for her performance. Well deserved.
Indeed!
King was so pleased with Kathy's performance that he wrote Delores Claiborne with her in mind. She nailed that role too.
Yes, I wish more people would react to that movie its soooo good.

Every village has a crazy lady - we know crazy scotish lady 😂
If you're in a village, and don't know who the village crazy lady is, well... 😵💫
James Caan, He couldn’t survive a mob hit (The Godfather) or cancer (Brian’s Song) but he can survive a psychotic nurse all crippled up.
He also survived the brutal game of ROLLERBALL and the politics surrounding it!
A co-worker was an extra in Cinderella Liberty. He was in the Navy and they used real sailors as extras.
just like real life!
Then his son Scott became a state cop in Hawaii.
dont forget Rollerball

She's easily in the top 5 for me. His most terrifying in my opinion was Todd Bowden in Apt Pupil.
@@GlynDwr-d4h Not a bad comparison. The ones that are grounded in reality are harder to laugh off than the "moustache twirling" comic book villains.
Happy Halloween back atcha Darlin!!! Have s spooktacular night!!!
James Caan is one of my favorite actors. Besides playing Sonny in The Godfather and this movie, he was also in Thief, The Gambler and Rollerball. All bangers!
James Caan said Stephen King said: His biggest fear is of his "biggest fan", & so he wrote Misery as his personal horror story!
I love that seeing that the story is by Stephen King elicits such a response
Ah Darlin! This is a good one! Think your going to love it!
Ah, I hardly remember the movie, but the novel was cool. One thing I miss in the the movie is that the "leg treatment" is not the same as in the novel (it's kind of a step up in nastiness compared to the movie).
Richard Farnsworth has a supporting role with Robert Redford in The Natural. Top notch baseball movie.
29:26 Half speed.
Great reaction Dawn. I'm your number one fan. 😅
The sheriff and his wife are one of my favorite movie couples ever. Just love them.
Another Stephen King movie for you is Firestarter.
Marie, I am your best fan^^ lol
"I've never seen a knob like that before." Need to put that on a T-shirt.
Gen V?
@DawnMarieX, your reaction to this movie was great. I've never seen someone constantly talking about what Annie's pig would do, lol.
I hate it when Buster is killed, he was such a good character. The suspense in this movie is up to the levels of Hitchcock. There is also a nice amount of humor in this movie too.
Thanks again, for this reaction, Dawn. I love your Ghostbusters shirt.
Great movie What always piss off about the movie is what happen to the sheriff (In the book it is even worse), He is such nice guy. but that is horror movies for you and that is why I almost never watch horror movies . Another Steven King adaptions is The Dead Zone which had a great tv show as well as a movie.
Stephen King is not above writing about a character for chapters on end; motivations, strengths, development, deep-seated fears, hopes, and dreams...AND now he's deceased.
Lauren freaking Bacall is Hollywood royalty. Original Rat Pack member.
I can’t wait for‘Platoon!’
The rat pack were all men
The hobbling reaction is amazing!!
Happy halloween, Dawn! Misery is an excellent choice... and here are a few other suggestions for quality movies for a quality girrrl: Smoke (1995), The Name of the Rose (1986) and Rob Roy (1995). And these are movies that there are probably no other reaction videos to, so you´ll be a pioneer of sorts with these :-)
Farnsworth (the sheriff) is great in a movie called The Natural. It's a baseball movie but very watchable even for non baseball fans.
Great reaction, you always make me laugh
That hobbling scene gets me every time! Makes my ankles hurt! I agree dawn i can't unsee that scene! I was rooting for the sheriff too but... well... Thanks Steven King! Lol. Thanks Dawn Marie ❤️💛
RIP James caan. I forgot i have his autograph. I also used to watch his son’s dog Dot while he played softball with my ex boyfriend. And John Hamm and Jake Gyllenhaal lol
Been a while since I checked out one of your reactions, but love the new hair colour! Great reaction, too! 🙂
"You're a Cockadoodie!" Best reaction to that line ever!
That was her father, not her husband.
The honors nurse was a schoolmate she murdered so she'd be top student.
Murdering babies probably means see was sterile, barren womb, and so she was angry at both new moms and infants
I always saw it as she lost her mind and turned violent for minor things, like she almost did several times with Paul, and small children can be annoying quite often. So I think she snapped from time to time and killed a few babies.
I can't remember what the book said about it though. Long time since I read that one.
Great hair!
Great acting in this. Rob Reiner was directing some pretty good movies during this time. Got to love that hobbling scene 🔨..
Give me heads up yeah it was they're talking about if you should publish that and remember that tragedy for the rest of his life because it's published
“I mix in some Spam with the ground beef…”
Dawn: “Aww, yummm…! That’s a really good idea.”
I HOWLED! 😂
He's the dad in Elf, he's Sonny in The Godfather, and he's in Rollerball, that no one reacts to.
This the only time I have ever seen a film where a man beasts the supreme Jezzus out of a woman and the women watching Cheer!
Richard Farnsworth didnt start acting until he was in his 40's. Up to then, he had been a stuntman. He mostly did Westerns, but he was in Gone With the Wind, but uncredited. I think he was in the 10 Commandments. He was a coach/friend of Robert Redford in The Natural. He was in another movie with James Caan and Jane Fonda, Comes a Horseman, a very good movie. The Grey Fox, about an old outlaw who gets out of jail. I, Tom Horn, one of those mostly fictional true stories Holkywood loves to put out
Your summary is right on target Dawn. Bates is the first actress to win the Oscar for a horror film and she nails it. The TV series you're thinking of is her new one on CBS - a reboot of sorts of MATLOCK. Caan is underrated for his performance IMO (often the tough guy persona on screen a big departure that he pulls off in spades). Stephen King said he was terrified by Bates' performance. Farnsworth is in THE NATURAL too.
7:03 -- RE: Her True Colors; So Yeah, tell us more about how it's understandable she's a creepy stalking predator because her lived experience gives her a 2-tier pass to being abusive the rest of her life.
Dawn if you're interested in seeing another Kathy Bates fantastic performance in another Stephen King adaptation, I HIGHLY recommend watching Dolores Claiborne (1995). Her performance in that is remarkable. A very sad story though.
The rain is indeed very soothing.
