I always just really liked her due to Carrie being a favourite since a kid, I guess there's something about unhinged older women in films that i dig.
Billie Whitelaw in The Omen and Bette Davis in Whatever happened to Baby Jane being two other prime examples.
Laurie is also in The Faculty and features in Ruby another goofy 70's horror film that used to turn up on late night TV a lot, it's not a great film but it is quite warped and she's good in it, i've always liked it.
