Turn Me On Dead Man Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'd have to say Storm of the Century, followed by The Green Mile. What is your favorite Steve King movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Shawshank Redemption and it's not even close. Most of the films based on his work have been complete crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Shawshank Redemption, The Shining and The Green Mile in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finding IT Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I liked The Stand miniseries. In terms of movies, probably Stand By Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanaceaFish Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Being a huge fan of Stephen King's works, I have quite a list (the ones with asterisks next to them signify that I've also read the book): The Shawshank Redemption The Green Mile* Storm of the Century The Dark Half* Carrie Christine* Pet Semetary* The Stand* Children of The Corn* (short story) The Shining* Dolores Claiborne Thinner The Night Flier Firestarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbass Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) You know, I really love "Christine"... there is just something about that car! Edited August 12, 2008 by rushbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Megadon Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Dolores Claiborne, and, lord help me, The Langoliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile (tie) Rose Red is also a fun one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanaceaFish Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Aw wow, I forgot about Rose Red...I have it on DVD, along with the mini series of The Shining, which IMO was truer to the book than Kubric's film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Shawshank Redemption, Misery, Dead Zone, Stand by Me... those are probably my favorites. I'm not much of a fan of either of the two "Shining" movies. "The Stand" mini-series was pretty good, and well cast. "The Shawshank Redemption" has nearly become my favorite movie of all time; everytime I come across it on TV (a lot!), I watch it. It's just so damned good! And I recommend all its fans read the novella, "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." Good story, and it's in the same book ("Different Seasons") as "The Body," the inspiration for "Stand by Me."

Yeah, I actually read the novella first. I love King's straight-on horror novels, but his NON-horror books are my favorite. He's awesome at developing his characters. One of my favorites is his chronicling of his son's Little League team and their run at the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey M, for a real treat, track down the audio book of Stephen King reading the story about his kid's little league team. You can hear the pride in his voice when he talks about Owen getting a hit.

Queen of Megadon Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) You know, I just have to ask...how many of you read THE GREEN MILE when it first came out as chapter books? I remember going crazy waiting for them to come out every month! It was a wonderful way to make the story last longer.

I remember going crazy waiting for them to come out every month! It was a wonderful way to make the story last longer. I bought every one of the chapter books. I hope they never do that again. I could not wait for it to come out, then you have to run to the store and make sure you got your copy... I can't really pick a favorite SK movie, I've read all his books, but I like my imagination better, the movies don't do the descriptions justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
