    Favorite Stephen King movie

    This might have been done before, if so sorry to dredge it all up again
    So what is your favorite King movie, which do you think is his best and which do you think hasn't been butchered.
    I didn't include all his movies in the poll, but vote for other and tell us what it is


    So far mine is the original Shining ( I know Kubrick actually took the story in a different direction, but it still is a hell of a ride, but to date the Shining
    TV Miniseries is just as powerful and holds true to the book.
    Among my other favorites

    Carrie
    Misery (Bates was great in this)
    Creepshow
    Pet Semetary
    and The stand

    Salem's Lot.

    Christine would have to be a close second but I do love The Running Man for the sheer cheese factor alone. I had no idea Starsky directed that movie.

    I do hope Cell is made into a movie soon...

    I have a few Stephen King based films, all of them pretty good. The Shining, Stand By Me, Misery and Cujo are the ones I've watched most and I think out of all of them Misery might have to be my favourite.

    Creepshow on this list. Otherwise it would probably be Shawshank.

    "IT" used to scare the hell out of me in my early teens,although the book is far better & creepier!the TV series of the shining was good as is misery,pet sematary,shawshank,& the stand (barring the crap ending)

    I'd like to see Cell & Duma Key made into films, and if anyone has read his collection of short stories "just after sunset", there is a story in there called 'N' which would be very good

    Right now it's probably The Mist. But I forgot about Shawshank... That one is great.

    How the hell could I forget Shawshank and The Green Mile? When someone posts a poll with only horror films on you (at least I) tend to forget he wrote those as well

    Mine would probably have to Shawshank then.

    I thought I heard Eli Roth was directing The Cell...not sure if that is good or bad.

    Three reasons why Maximum Overdrive kicks ass:

    1. The chick with the dark hair rocks.
    2. The truck with the goblin face rocks.
    3. The soundtrack by AC/DC rocks!

    Other--The Shining. That and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer are my all-time faves.
