![]() The polyester, the gym shorts and knee socks, the afros and farrah-hair just take you back to 1976. It really is a time capsule of that era in history. Even the cheesy band playing at the prom fit the mood just right with the lyrics, "The Devil's Got a Hold Of Your Soul". The two beautiful themes still stick in my mind, "Born To Have It All" which was playing in the shower scene and "I Never Dreamed Someone Like You (Could Love Someone Like Me)" which Carrie and Tommy danced to at the prom. It should have won an oscar for the soundtrack alone. I can't express how perfectly the music framed every scene. Maybe the single most important element in Carrie is the suspense-building music. And who didn't love it when Buckley slapped Nancy Allen's face? Then the terrible realization on her face as she wonders if it is another cruel joke. One of the most touching moments was Miss Collins taking Carrie in front of the mirror and telling her that she is a pretty girl. Buckley as the caring gym teacher stole every scene she was in. Her name is Dinah Drake, like the original Black Canary, but she is a metahuman with a powerful sonic scream, like Dinah Laurel Lance.

A long-standing character, she made her comic book debut all the way back in 1947 when she appeared in Issue 86 of Flash Comics.

I loved how Piper and Sissy's southern accents enhanced their characters. Set in 18 carat white gold and 80 pav diamonds, Carrie asks why black to which Big responds because you are. Big gives Carrie a 5-carat black diamond engagement ring. Equally irreplacable was Piper Laurie who brings a manic energy to her role as the religious-wacko Mrs. The grand finale of one of the most iconic TV romances of all time comes in the second installment of the Sex and the City movie franchise, where Mr. You not only root for Spacek's Carrie, but you want to reach in and hug her. Sissy gave Carrie a child-like quality that no other actress can touch. Sissy Spacek as Carrie White goes without saying. First of all, the original actresses could never be replaced. There were so many elements that made the 1976 movie a classic, but I will try to name just a few. Watching the TV remake of Carrie last week just made me miss the original version all the more.
