The green mile is an excellent book and movie

I loved the movie but the book goes into more depth.
What I really loved from the story is the spirit and attitude of Coffey its hard to forget a character with that kind of gift and yet a sense of humbleness.

The adaption by the moviemakers of one of my favorites of Mr. King's stories was indeed a most pleasant surprise for me. I read the story when it was released in serial form and then when I finished the latest increment I would pass it around my agency. It is such a wonderful story and for once Hollywood did not screw it up (too much). The actors were wonderful and they seemed to fit right into Mr. King's mold.

Some movies get better and better with each viewing. Maybe all good movies are that way. I watched The Green Mile on TV the other night and it was just excellent, especially Michael Clarke Duncan's performance. For me a great acting performance is more fulfilling than a great meal.

I loved the book. But the movie wasn't my favorite. Maybe I should try to re watched Green Mile. Because I only seen it once and that was before I had read the book.

I LOVED the book and the movie.

My favorite quote from the movie:

Melinda Moores: I dreamed of you. I dreamed you were wandering in the dark, and so was I. We found each other. We found each other in the dark.

Every but Every time I see the movie, I feel very sad... The last time I saw it, I couldn't stop my tears. So... I can imagine my reaction when I'll read the book...

I cried a lot too wen I watched the film for the first time. It's really hard to follow the gradual extinction of a human being, especially when we are not acquainted with his crimes. I felt pity for everyone, except the murderer of the twin girls. I didn't read the book either. I think that I must bye it

I have the book and the movie, and although I believe that books are always better than their movie adaptions, I have to say that this movie came pretty close to perfect, IMO. I've re-read the book and re-watched the movie multiple times, and both are masterpieces. I felt so bad for John Coffey, and I wanted to kill Percy! Wonderfully heart-wrenching story!

I love The Green Mile, and not just because i think it is set in Mississippi; although i do have logical reasoning for this notion.

This is an awesome story with genuine characters. Mr. Jingles is my favorite.

The Green Mile movie seems to play on a semi-regular basis, so each time I come across it, I watch from whatever point it may be at. I simply cannot help myself. Inevitibly, my husband (a non-King-reader) will wander in, say "Are you watching that again?" and promptly sit down and watch it with me!
