Carrie (1976)

I first saw “Carrie” in college on a brokedown VCR, which played everything in black and white. That version was scarier than the original. But even in color, Stephen King’s novel comes alive and every girl’s fantasy is realized — burning down their senior prom.

Highlights from the third “Cheerleaders” sexploitation movie of the 1970s include a pregnant cheerleader, a drug-induced food fight and another cheerleader using her underwear to revive a chloroformed David Hasselhoff — in his first film.
