The Top Ten
1 When Annie Wilkes realises that Paul Sheldon has killed Misery Chastain off in his new novel

He wakes to find deranged Annie looming over him. She is NOT a happy birdie...

2 "I'm your number one fan"

Those immortal words said by Misery book series fanatic Annie Wilkes. That very sentence we realise Paul Sheldon is in trouble.

3 Paul and Annie toasting 'Misery's Return' at dinner.

She completely ruins Paul's plans for an escape attenpt by knocking over her glass of wine. A defeated Paul can only make a toast tn just plain misery then.

This is the scene where everything changes. How is Paul going to get out?

I like this the by the way.

4 Paul Sheldon trying to get back to his 'prison' when he realises that Annie is on her way back...

I still get goosebumps wondering if he'll make it...

5 Hobbling


Annie and that mallet... The raw, animal pain that actor James Caan displays in this scene should go down in history. Excellent!

6 Paul Sheldon starts to write Misery's Return
7 Annie making Paul burn the only copy of his new book

I love this scene. I feel for Paul. All those months of hard work, literally going up in smoke. And he stares in utter sadness at tiny blackened pieces of his manuscript floating about.

8 Paul Sheldon burning last revealing page of Misery's Return.

"It all right here." he says, striking the match and putting the flame to the page...

9 The last desperate fight with Annie

Wow! You really want Paul to escape but Annie is just as determined to keep him her prisoner.

10 Eighteen months later,..

The end. But it's clear that Paul still has Annie Wilkes on his mind...
