deadwing2112 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think there has been one. Misery was the only good Stephen King movie that I have seen so far. Anyone got any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 the shawshank redemption may be the best movie ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I agree with Tick's two - The Shining The Shawshank Redemption I would add The Green Mile Carrie Maximum Overdrive (actually.....no) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The good ones: The Dead Zone Stand By Me Misery It (TV mini-series) The Shawshank Redemption The Stand (TV mini-series) Carrie was actually good too, but it seems very dated now. The Shining is a popular favorite, but Stephen King himself didn't like it, and my own opinion is a little mixed. The TV mini-series version of The Shining, made with King's co-operation, was pretty good, but it's long and slow-paced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought "Gage" was a good boy's name, and thought about using it for our second-born, but my wife associates the name with the resurrected killing child from Pet Sematary.

Rush! Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) Carrie, The Shining (my favorite movie of all time), It, & Pet Sematary. The TV-Mini Series The Shining sucked IMO. Edited September 25, 2006 by Rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the book was poor and obviously thought the film was poor too... For the big finish King admitted himself to ripping off a Salem's Lot scene, the one where The kid having an affair with the married woman comes back as a vampire for revenge after his empty-shotgun humiliation at the hands of of the husband. Which is very like the scene where Creed buries his dead wife in the Semetary and her return that night cooing "Darling... Meanwhile in the middle of the book King seemed to lose his way altogether... I'm pretty sure King was in two minds about publishing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was really satisfied with that book. I, too, have heard that he thought of not doing it, but that's because - he says - it was the one book of his that scared even him at the time. He was too close to it... he really had a pet cemetery built by children behind his Maine home. It creeped him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I liked "Carrie" and "the Stand". "Children of the Corn" was pretty good as well (and in parts, unintentionally funny). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
