Hmmm...top 5 movies or mini-series based on Stephen King novels/stories:
05 Carrie
A lot of people would have put The Shining on this list somewhere, but even Stephen King hated that movie, as it didn't follow the book. I had a hard time here choosing between Carrie and 1408, but ended up going with the classic.
04 The Green Mile
Easily one of the best shot films based on SK, this story and movie showed that he didn't always have to rely on horror. The relationships between the characters in the movie is very genuine, and the ending of the movie will bring tears to your eyes.
03 The Stand
Tied for my favorite Stephen King novel (with Insomnia), this mini-series held true to the books almost line for line. Gary Sinise was great as the main character.
02 IT
Seriously, this movie gave an entire generation a clown phobia. When Pennywise opened up his mouth and showed those teeth, thousands of kids simultaneously pissed themselves.
01 The Shawshank Redemption
Voted the #1 movie of all time at IMDB, it's easy to see why. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give once in a lifetime performances in a movie that makes you forget it's a movie. Some people would say it is sacrilege to not have a horror movie in the number one spot, but go watch this movie and then tell me that.
Agree? Disagree? Let me know.
