favorite Stephen King-based movie?

[The Grasshopper]

The Shining... don't matter to me if it's not much to the King's liking the cast is incredible in this flick. :thumbsup: :bowdown:

Apparently I picked Carrie and The Shining a long time ago. I stand by it.

I once read a great book by Stephen King and Peter Straub called The Talisman. Really good. I remember on the cover it stated that it was soon to become a "Major Film."

Alas I was unable to find this film and don't think it was ever made, but it could have been tremendous.

Anyone know if it indeed ever made it on to celluloid?

The Shinning is my favorite

They are making a miniseries next year. I can't find anything on The Talisman becoming a film, though.

Sleepwalkers was awesome.

My favorite is Stand by Me. I surprised more people haven't mentioned it.

Pennywise scared the shit out of me when I was younger!

This is true. No movie has terrified me like It has. It's still scary now, never mind when I was 10 years old. Holy fuck.

Shawshank Redemption

It !!

I just watched 1408 and was unimpressed.

 

[STDiva]

It !!

I think the stats in your sig are wrong. Teens only listen to rap or classical music?

 

[Ray Ecks]

Shawshank Redemption.

 

[Ravenholm]

I vote for the movie about a super flu wiping out most of humanity with Randall Flagg as the bad guy!. That movie kicks some serious bottom!. Randall Flagg: "Rubadubdub, thanks for the grub!" class line that, and one that the Simpsons ripped off once.

Then of course there is the three hour version of Salem's Lot as well. It is good. And let's not forget The Mist, but this is because I have a hard on for Marcia Gay Harden who played the religious nut in The Mist.

 

[dirtybaker]

The Mist was very blah, but that ending was amazing! I still get chills when I think about it!
