He liked Stephen King\u2019s original short stories that makeup two of the three segments in Cat\u2019s Eye, and as a mid-level Stephen King production, it holds up very well and he still enjoys it. Crystal remembers loving Cat\u2019s Eye as a kid and even looking up to Drew Barrymore. She remembers it being scarier through a kid\u2019s eyes but in the end, it\u2019s a feel-good movie with the cat finding his \u201cforever home.\u201d She agrees with Bill that the movie doesn\u2019t seem dated at all and has held up very well. Jeff agrees with Crystal. To him, Cat\u2019s Eye seems milder than he remembers, but he still enjoys it as an example of a well-shot movie with good storytelling and a great cast. If you have a hankering to watch an anthology film, you won\u2019t go wrong with Cat\u2019s Eye. At the time of this writing, Cat\u2019s Eye can be streamed from HBOmax, Tubi, and a host of PPV options. It is available on physical media as a Blu-ray from Warner Brothers.
