This 1990 movie, based on a Stephen King story and directed by Rob Reiner, gave King another mainstream movie hit – and made a star of Kathy Bates, as the fan of a novelist (James Caan) who ends up holding him captive after finding him in a car accident. One scene in this movie version became iconic, but I don’t intend to hammer home the point.

"Misery" conveys a complex emotional experience. As a mental health expert, acknowledging and understanding misery is crucial for holistic well-being. Seeking support, whether through therapy or community, is pivotal. Addressing underlying causes and fostering resilience can pave the way for individuals to navigate and overcome the challenges contributing to their sense of misery.

Kathy Bates re-created that scene a few years ago, in a funny and clever commercial for DirecTV. A bedridden James Caan also appeared; I'm sure his footage was taken from the movie.
