What is your favorite Stephen King movie?
 

I like all of Stephen King's movies but my favorite so far is THE SHINING. Being isolated all winter long will play with ones mind.

Before somebody else calls you loudly on this, I will. Dude, use the search function. You will find that there are sometimes existing threads on a topic that are not on the first page or the 12th for that matter. Searching will find the thread.

Of the ones I have seen, I would have to say 'Pet Cemetary' I saw it when I was a kid. The only part that really scared me was the flashback scene when the Wife was taking care of her dying aunt/sister or whatever.

Pretty fond of The Dark Half and Misery too.

Not a huge fan to be honest but I love Creepshow...

I also really liked Battleground from the Nightmares and Dreamscapes TV show..

I like most of his films but I guess my Favorites are...

It
The Stand
Salems Lot
Dreamcatcher
Creepshow
Silver Bullet
Pet Sematery
Misery

Yeah I know I should probably pick one ,but there's so many good ones its hard to choose.

It is my favorite. It can't touch the book by any means, but the pure creepiness of Tim Curry as Pennywise is awesome.

they are all pretty terrible, especially maximum overdrive.

Salem's Lot (1979)

Any one seen any of the Stephen King Dollar Babies?

Though cheap as hell i kinda liked Rainy Season.

By far I would have to say the classic IT.

I would have to say Misery because Kathy Bates is so incredibly frightening and comforting in it.

Pretty creepy.

Carrie
The Shining
The Dead Zone
Stand By Me
Pet Sematary
Misery
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile

I change my answer, my favorite stephen king movies are the ones he had no hand in making.

I loved The Green Mile.

Thinner - it made me fear to see gypsies in realy life...lol..

My favorite is definitely 'IT", scared the hell out of me as a kid, but there are many other great films too.

Carrie
IT
The Shining
The Green Mile
Misery
Shawshank Redemption(actually filmed at the Mansfield Reformatory in my home town) and sadly I still haven't gone to a tour there :(
Thinner

My top favorites are:

Christine
Cat's Eye
Creepshow
Maximum Overdrive

But, there are probably more I like.

- Horrorman

The Shining
It
Thinner
:cool:

If youve read his horror most of his movies dont come close to the book. The biggest example would be the Shining. That being said id say Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile.

The Shining (Kubrick)
Carrie
Misery
The Mist (b/w)

IT
Creepshow
Misery

Dear sir,I agree with you and I have read many of his books including the Shining and I know the glaring differences from the book to the film.But I am only speaking of the movie and I was thoroughly entertained by it.Yes I am aware to the question to this thread but the Shining remains on my list.Dont hold a grudge against me kind sir,I am just stating my opinion.:cool:

I'm keen to check that out. Is the story any different?

No, but the entire story simply feels different in the black and white style. The story really comes to life and the CG blends far better. I missed the theatrical on this one and when I heard that Darabont not only intended for the film to be b/w, but offered a b/w version on the DVD I bought it immediately and watched the b/w version before seeing the color version.

It is fantastic.

The version over here was just the colour one. I can definitely see it working really well in B&W, might have to import the set with both versions.

Stephen King's IT was my favorite movie, I loved the book "Carrie"

Shawshank and Green mile for sure,also Misery and quite a few others but my favourite is The Dead Zone.Class.

all of then exept tommy knockers

Would his pen name of Richard Bachman count?
If so it has to be The Running Man. Otherwise It or The Shining

Althogh Not a movie but a fantastic short series. seriously give Steven King's Kingdom Hospital a go. If you like ghosts, hospitals and Ardvarks!!! give this a go!

my favorites are!!
 

1. The shining
2. IT
3. storm of the century
4. carrie
5. sometimes they come back

Number 1 is definitely Pet Sematary. The Shining and Carrie are great too, of course. I can never get myself to sit through It. No movie needs to be 192 minutes.

Yes, some do.

Creepshow and the Dead Zone are my two favorites.

p.m. me your address, I'll send you a copy autographed by Thomas Jane.

That would be awesome! :eek:
