What Is Everyones Favorite Stephen King Movie?

[samhain]

It's wicked-tough to chose a favorite. Guess I'll go for Shawshank with Dolores Claiborne a close second.
The Shining (1980), The Dead Zone (1983) and Misery are up there as well.

Stand By Me, hands down for me.

Green Mile

I have such a hard time choosing a favorite. Book, movie, etc. I think there are several of the movies that are really good! The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, and Stand By Me are some that I think are among the best!

Oh where to start... While many movies/miniseries based on SK's books or short stories have been absolutely terrible, there have been quite a few gems. Let's see...

Shawshank Redemption is easily my favorite; followed by The Stand, Stand By Me, Misery, Children of the Corn (kinda surprised no one has mentioned this one), Secret Window, Pet Sematary, Dolores Claiborne, and Apt Pupil.

On the other hand I think The Shining is one of the most overrated movies of all time; in fact I think most Kubrick movies are overrated. His style just doesn't do it for me (I do like Full Metal Jacket though). I didn't really care for the miniseries either. I know this is considered blasphemy to most Stephen King fans, but *GASP* I just don't really like The Shining. It's actually one of my least favorite of his earlier works (along with Carrie).

I'm also kind of surprised how many people listed It as one of their favorites. It is one of my absolute favorite books of his, and I really couldn't imagine a worse adaptation than the 1990 miniseries. It was so bad it was comical. They left out half of the best parts of the book and the acting was terrible.

Absolutely: Shawshank Redemption - my the most favourite of all.

The Shining, old version. I know Mr. King didn't like it too much, but the movie scared the hell out of me when I saw it circa de 1980-1981 at the drive-in. Didn't sleep well for several days....and I remember my mom yelling at my dad afterwards for taking me with him to see it......lol

Green Mile and Shawshank for sure!

[Karensneddon]

It would have to be either Shawshank or The Green Mile.

Have to go with Shawshank as well. I may get booed out of here for this, but I think the movie is better than the book.
