### **ABOUT THE FILMS:** **STAND BY ME, 1986, Dir. Rob Reiner, 85 Mins, Columbia Pictures, USA** Four friends, Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern, decide to go hiking in order to find the dead body of Ray Brower, a local teenager who was hit by a train while plucking blueberries in the wild. FORMAT: DCP **MISERY, 1990, Dir. Rob Reiner, 107 Mins, Park Circus, USA** When novelist James Caan has a car accident, he’s lucky – or so it would seem – to be rescued by his “biggest fan,” a nurse (Kathy Bates) eager to care for him. Unfortunately, Caan’s would-be savior is not happy with the direction his writing is taking and will stop at nothing – including murder – to “help” him. Rob Reiner’s expertly staged adaptation of Stephen King’s bestseller is a masterpiece of claustrophobic suspense, and a terrific showcase for two incredible actors (Bates won the Oscar for her performance).
