Great to see the ever gorgeous Tom Selleck in an early role, a speaking part too. He plays Sean Murphy who goes in for a 'routine' op and well, you have to see the movie but I will say he is in the movie three times. One: alive and well, second: undergoing anaesthesia and third:, erm... see the movie.

Haven't seen this is in a long time but still surprised by how good, and creepy, it was. Loved it to bits, please don't remake it, there's no need, this movie still stands the test of time even though it's now 31 years old!! Hot damn, how many movies can claim that record these days???

Comatose or alive, it was great to see Tom Selleck here. One of the great things about this film is the remarkable cast, many of them early in their careers.

I am sure he has done extra work before Coma. Coma was his first speaking job where he had a few lines. Did you see him in the comma at the institute later on in the movie? For some reason, I thought how strange it was to see him as one of the Coma patients. He had a few lines while he was in the hospital before he went into a coma.
