TWO thumbs up!!! It's one of the few movies that has captured the story telling genius that we as Constant Readers see all the time in SK's novels and short sorties. Loved the casting and everything about it.
I was getting dog tired of the hack jobs that some of these producers were putting out. How can you mess up stories like The Stand??

I think this movie is a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone second that?

yeah, you betcha, pandora! God is great! SK writes good stuff! All is well with the world! Reading something along these lines now, speaks the nightbird/mccammon. common thread maybe. shawshank. green mile. grisham's innocent man, or something like that. we've probably all been wrongly accused of something, like the lady at the five and dime charges mom five cents for the pack of juicy fruit she's convinced you have in your pocket and you hear about it twenty years later having lived a good majority of your life blissfully unaware that stuff like this happens. did i say all is well with the world? time to take a nap.

I'll second it. Frank Darabont is awesome at adapting SK's work. I still haven't gotten around to buying it but I will eventually, probably when I buy a PS3 I'll grab a Blu-Ray copy.

yes definitely, i love the green mile, thought everything from the acting to the set and the atmosphere in the film really reflected the book which unfortunately they hardly ever seem to do right like the shining and the stand for example. to thumbs up from me!

I think this was the best movie (created from a Stephen King book) ever. This is by far the closest a movie has come to the story.

It's a powerful movie and I think the casting is extraordinarily good. This is one of the few rare occasions when a film really manages to come out just as good as the book.

You pounded that nail good and true!

"Like the drink, only not spelled the s-same...."

That movie probably saved my life a few times.

This is my all time favourite SK adaptation- I thought that the length of the film (3 hours) only added to the emotion and attachment that you felt to the characters in the end, many people disagree with this of course. People hear Stephen King and they assume that it will be a low budget B movie but this really wasn't. It was the only film, in my opinion, that captured the true meaning of friendship and honstly and heroism in a way.

This film should have been recognised for what it is- one of the greatest films ever made, i don't see how it can't be up there with the film-elite like Citizen Kane, Casablanca etc. If something can show true human emotion and throw it back in your face how can't it be great. No other film has done it ever. Never ever. This is the film and novel that inspired me to be a writer, I want to thank Stephen King and Frank Darabont for making my dream a reality.

I will leave you with this- "Oh god, the green mile is so long"

I was real proud when i watched Green Mile its my best SK book so i was very happy with the cast and the movie. Came out smiling as if i had a hand in the making i was that proud.
