Favorite Stephen King movie

[Mr.G]

That and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer are my all-time faves. I had no idea that was a King movie.

[MikePizzoff]

Other: IT I'm really a sucker for all Stephen King adaption films. I'm even a huge fan of The Langoliers. Yeah, I said it.

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! Yep, Maximum Overdrive may be cheesy but it still is great, they did a remake of it awhile back called, 'The Trucks" it was good but I still liked the old B movie with AC/DC on the soundtrack, plus the annoying little pudgy, newly wed lady in the movie, is actually Yeardly Smith the voice of Lisa Simpson lol There are a lot of great movies, Stand by me, I loved the Green Mile and Redemption. I just watched the Mist last night and I gotta say, it turned out much better than I had expected and just made my list of great movies. The all time worst King movie for me was DreamCatcher.... I actually liked the Langoliers movie, it was pretty good for a TV movie. I wouldn't mind seeing his short story "The Libriarian" from the Four past midnight collection, made into a movie, it would be creepy

The all time worst King movie for me was DreamCatcher.... "Fuck me Freddy" was about the only thing I took away from DreamCatcher. Never had I seen a bigger waste of Stephen King or Jason Lee. But on the subject of Maximum Overdrive...brilliant. That's one movie my friends and I watch once a year with a couple of six-packs at hand. Funny thing is we always double-feature it with Breakfast Club

[DawnGirl27]

Loved Langoliers, too. Stand By Me a great movie, as is Shawshank. Would like to see Cell made by someone who would do the story justice, but these days, that seems a rare occurence.

Dreamcatcher wasn't so bad... (Duddits!) It was tough between Creepshow, Misery, and Christine, but ultimately I had to give it to the Fury. Evil female hot rods make me... well, hot.

i like storm of the century and rose red quite a bit too. i tend to put storm of the century on in july or aug when it's like 95 F with 70% humidity, it makes everything, even the AC, seem cooler.

[bassman]

Shawshank and The Shining

[Neil]

No 'The Dead Zone'? Loved Langoliers, too. Stand By Me a great movie, as is Shawshank. Would like to see Cell made by someone who would do the story justice, but these days, that seems a rare occurence. Seemingly like many of Kings stories, the ending of Cell was very weak

[Mike70]

No 'The Dead Zone'? ugh. to my shame i'd forgotten about that gem. christopher walken's acting in that movie is outstanding and might just be, along with kathy bates in misery, one of the better performances in any king movie.

[Mr.G]

ugh. to my shame i'd forgotten about that gem. christopher walken's acting in that movie is outstanding and might just be, along with kathy bates in misery, one of the better performances in any king movie. Bates was great in Dolores Claiborne too....

[Mike70]

Bates was great in Dolores Claiborne too.... that is one king movie that has always escaped me. i've meant to sit down and watch it about a million times but something always comes up and i forget about it, until the next time that i mean to sit down and watch it rolls around. we need a thread for worst stephen king movie.

[SRP76]

The Langoliers. Almost spot-on as far as following the novella. And yes, I like it more than Shawshank Redemption. I just want to see The Eyes of the Dragon. Why the FUCK has nobody made this movie?! They've made (and remade, and remade the remakes of) everything else that's ever been written; why dodge this one for 25 years?!

[DjfunkmasterG]

The Shawshank Redemption! End of discussion! For non horror, Yes I agree 100%.

[blind2d]

I love Eyes of the Dragon! It would be much, much more awesomer than Eragon, that's for bloody sure. Did anyone see that piece of crap? Looked like a Sci-fi channel movie... a bad one. Put me to sleep.
