* FIRST TIME WATCHING MISERY * (ANNIE WILKES HAS SCARRED ME FOR LIFE)!

[@mozyflicks]

I just realised this is categorised as horror, not thriller! My bad 😅

[@songbird989]

I've always just thought of it as a suspense thriller. 😊😊

[@mozyflicks]

@@songbird989 yeh i always find it interesting how they categorize their movies. Lol. But yeh, it feels more like a thriller for me too.

[@Zenobiadream]

Kathy bates winning both the golden globe and Oscar! She’s an incredible actress

[@mozyflicks]

Truly deserved!

[@linkcurry5235]

The 1987 Thriller, FATAL ATTRACTION, starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close is a great movie. JAWS made everyone afraid of the ocean, PSYCHO made women afraid of their showers and FATAL ATTRACTION made men afraid to cheat. I hope you react to it.

[@mozyflicks]

Sure thing! I’ll add it to the list. ✨🎬😄

[@michaelmiranda3688]

Yes ! Fatal Attraction is sooo good 🔥

[@joshuayeager3686]

Stephen King was such a fan of Kathy Bates performance in this that he ended up writing another story just for her in a film called “Delorose Claiborne” which is very good as well. A dark story but much different than Misery. Definitely worth reacting to.

[@mozyflicks]

Ooo! Sure thing, added ✅

[@tar-mairo]

Cockadoodie!! I kid you not, Mozy, Annie Wilkes is one of _the_ most terrifying characters I have ever seen on film and Kathy Bates certainly deserved that Oscar full time! I think King himself has stated it is one of his favorite film adaptations and his personal favorite character among all those he created in his long, looong career. So King has waaay too many film / series adaptations to list but out of more underrated ones from the 80s I would recommend _Christine_ , _The Dead Zone_ , _Children of the Corn_ , _Pet Semetary_ and _Sleepwalkers_ ! Whew, even this is too much, haha! And scary elements aside, your laughter at some of the more bizarre and wacky elements was so very genuine and from the heart! I am definitely checking out more of your comedy reactions!

[@mozyflicks]

@@tar-mairo Haha thank you! Muchly appreciated. 💙⭐️

[@EagleFang74]

Annie Wilkes scared the cacadoodie out of everyone back in the day! Kathy Bates gave one of the best performances of all time. She was so familiar but at the same time so frightening. She's like the maniac that hides in plain sight. Creepy! Glenn Close in 1987's Fatal Attraction is another one that is legendary.

[@mozyflicks]

Couldnt agree more. The cockadoodie for sure 🤣

[@zacheryacuff8070]

I'd be interested to watch an alternate version of Misery where instead of kidnapping her favorite writer, Paul Sheldon, she kidnaps her favorite artist, Liberace.

[@mozyflicks]

Haha! I just looked up, the character pops up again in a tv series called castle rock. Id be down for watching that, just for her. Played by a different actress.

[@fuzzballzz36]

She'd watch his cameo in the Monkees TV show where he destroys a piano with a sledgehammer. "You dirty bird!"

[@larindanomikos]

Yeah, Kathy Bates did such a good job they gave her the Academy Award for it.

[@mozyflicks]

Great actress!

Back in the 90's my mom saw this and I caught a glimpse of the end, I was afraid for days because our nextdoor neighbor looked like the crazy lady in this film but with glasses. Lol!

Oh god, i tell yah, a character like annie is quite a unique one 🤣😅😱😬💀

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Mozy! 🦶 I love this one... directed by the great Rob Reiner. If you ever want to explore more of the 'Annie Wilkes' character, check out the second season of CASTLE ROCK (2018 through 2019).

[@k_salter]

Your channel and the movie 'Misery' were just rec'd to me. Really enjoyed it; subbed. A good thriller I don't see too many reactions to, if any, is "Sleeping With the Enemy" that's free on YT now. Looking forward to binging on your vids.

[@mozyflicks]

Awww thank you!🎉 i’ll add that to the list. ✅

[@wfoster-graham6363]

"Misery" certainly keeps you on edge, because 1) you never know when Annie Wilkes is going to flip out and 2) we are praying for Paul Sheldon to find some way to get out of there. When you think Annie can't sink any lower into insanity, she does, as Paul discovers in the course of the story. As for the hobbling scene and Buster's death, those are two scenes I simply cannot watch. to this day. Kudos to Kathy Bates and James Caan for their stellar performances and thank you for reacting to this movie. If you haven't seen/reacted to "Titanic" (1997), check it out--Kathy Bates has a far more sympathetic role in that epic masterpiece.

[@mozyflicks]

Awww thank you! Muchly appreciate it. Sure, ill add it to the list! 🚢

[@finster1968]

In the US, it’s always fun to see some of our younger people reacting to Misery when they’ve only seen Kathy Bates in her sweet, protagonist roles. They are shocked to see her act so psychotic! For the older generations, this is often the first movie we saw her in. She wasn’t a household name yet when Misery hit the theaters. If you’ve seen the movie Titanic (1997), then you’ve also seen Kathy Bates playing passenger Molly Brown.

[@mozyflicks]

@@finster1968 she trully is amazing. Thanks 👍✨🎬

[@kellyb3211]

Re: how did he light match with his fingernail Most all matches these days are called ‘safety matches’, designed to only ignite when you strike them across the sandpaper-like texture on a box or book of matches that contains ingredients that must be combined with the safety match head to cause ignition. The one Paul used is called a ‘strike anywhere’ match in which all the ingredients are contained within the match head and only needs friction to ignite. As you can imagine (and by the opposite name of the “safety matches’) the ‘strike anywhere’ matches are dangerous, as anything, like flicking your fingernail across the head could set them off.

[@mozyflicks]

Aahh thanks for that. That's a first for me.

[@fuzzballzz36]

I just googled them and apparently, several brands of strike anywhere matches are still made today. Kind of surprising!

[@PowerDiva]

Kathy Bates is a phenomenal actress... she's really great in pretty much everything she does. Another movie you should check out is Dolores Claiborne. This was another Stephen King book-turned-movie and he specifically wrote the character of Dolores Claiborne with her in mind. So of course, she stars in the film version of the book. It's more of a thriller than a horror and she's so good in it. You should also check out Fried Green Tomatoes - this one is a drama if you want a break from scary stuff. She stars in this also. Jessica Tandy, her co star was nominated for an Academy Award for that film and Kathy should have been. She did get a Golden Globe and a BAFTA nomination out of it. She was also in Titanic, if you haven't seen it yet... a much smaller role there, but it's a good movie.

[@mozyflicks]

Thank you! I’ll def add these to the list! 👻🎬

[@Danishwoman78]

Book is better than the movie. But the movie is also very good Kathy Bates won an Oscar for that role 😊
