What Is Everyones Favorite Stephen King Movie?

[vladimirfrombg]

Here's mine in this order:
1. The Shining by Stanley Kubrik (I read somwhere that Stephen King dislike it). Absolutely masterpiece with terrifying atmosphere
2. The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption.
3. It, The Stand, The Mist, Misery

I would have to say The Green Mile, although I very much liked Shawshank and Carrie. But I think The Green Mile was the closest to the book and characters were so greatly portrayed. I also liked The Mist a lot, but I hated the ending.

Stephen King playing Jordy Verrell in Creepshow is hard to beat. I can still watch that and crack up. Such a good performance. I think Creepshow would have to be my favorite, but there are a lot of good movies made from Mr. King's books.

Green Mile, by far! Shawshank a very close second.

The Running Man! Steve is Awakened

I'd say either The Shining or 1408. I'd probably have to give the edge to The Shining because of the scene where Jack chases Danny in the maze at the end. And of course, the picture at the end. I really don't understand why Stephen King doesn't like the movie, because it scared the hell out of me (room 217 and the axe scenes).

Apt Pupil mainly because of the historical significance. A close second is Stand By Me.

[AchtungBaby]

The Shining (Kubrick's version)

[dustler27]

So hard to choose! Dolores by far has the best performance of character. Pet sematary is the most horrifying. Carrie is the most classic. Shawshank is the most heartfelt. The mist is the most faithful and shocking. Too hard to choose!
