Apt Pupil
Anyone remember this crazy old story by Stephen King? It's a novella that was published in "Different Seasons" in 1982, and then it was made into a movie in 1998. It's one of his non-supernatural stories, so it's more of a thriller/drama instead of a horror story. In the movie, the old man is played by the same guy who played Gandalf in Lord of the Rings.
It's one of my favorites, and I just realized how many similarities there are in its basic plot compared to that of Breaking Bad. It's almost uncanny, albeit "Apt Pupil" is quite a bit darker in tone. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.
