Shawshank, love Misery and Stand By Me though

My top 5 King movies:

1. The Shining
2. Carrie
3. Shawshank
4. The Dead Zone
5. The Mist

Stand By Me, hands down. Followed closely by Misery and Carrie.

The Shining book is in my top 5 novels so I'd sooner have my eyeballs tattooed before I'll consider the movie as a 'top' in this category. I know, I've had many an argument with Kubrick fans, but I can't help it, I'm a purist!

You're entitled to your opinion, but the way I look at it... if a different director followed the book 100% and was a lesser director, then The Shining never becomes the horror classic that it was.

Kubrick might have taken on his own vision, but he transformed it into a horror masterpiece.

I really love this list. Maximum Overdrive is like the Mason-Dixon line.

Thanks, DocHoliday,and you're entitled to your opinion as well!

I consider the book a masterpiece, not the other way around. What I loved about the book just wasn't captured in the film, and not just certain events that did/didn't take place, it was the actors too. But, that's just me .

Misery or IT
