My Movie Review Thread | My Top 100

Shawshank without a doubt

Storm of The Century I saw it on t.v a few months ago it was in two parts, pretty creepy,

Green Mile

The Stand

Top 3.

1. The Shining

2. The Mist

3. Misery

I wouldnt say I was a fan of King's written work. But when movies based upon his writing is done well they are great. But as we all know 9 times out of 10 films based of Stephen Kings works are terrible.

The Shining (Kubrick, 1980)



Hands down the best flick King has ever been associated with. None of King's other adaptations come close, IMO. All the performances are fantastic, and the direction is superb.

The Mist just annoyed me on too many levels. Yep, three posts and going against the grain already - sorry!

A little off topic but has King ever considered The Dark Tower series to be made into movies, just thought he'd maybe be interested seeing the success of Lord of The Rings

The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Pet Cemetary
Christine

I'm hesitant to lump The Mist in with those, but I will say that I need to see it again, very soon.
