Carrie is quite a good film, although it is too short and the soundtrack is, in some parts of the film, ridiculously dated.

It features one of my favorite "one take" scene (the other being a particular scene in "Rope"), which starts by the prom queen ballot being picked up at Carrie's table, goes all the way through the party, the ballots being switched, shows Travolta and that girl hiding under the stage, goes all the way to the other girl hiding behind the stage, goes aaaall the way up, shows the bucket filled with blood from the top view, showing the stage below and the bucket both on focus, then zooms in at Carrie's table... All in one take, with no computers or steadycam or anything.
