Or at least 9.5

This version of Carrie is one of my favorite adaptations, no one of my favorite movies. I'm not a fan of horror or Stephen King but I read Carrie a long time ago and was blown away (I actually listened to Carrie on audiobook and it was narrated by Sissy Spacek). Speaking of Sissy Spacek, can anyone top her as the telekinetic outcast? (Maybe Angela Bettis) Sissy just oozes Shyness and Loneliness. I just want to hug her all throughout. When she smiles after winning Prom-Queen I just could not help smiling with her. Piper Laurie is really over the top as the mother, but the director asked her to be that way so much she was convinced that she was starring in a dark comedy. The Remakes are clearly based on this one while also claiming to be more faithful.
