Favorite Stephen King movie

What is your favorite Stephen King movie? IT, Stand By Me, Rose Red and Sleepwalkers are pretty good. What do you guys like?

Has anyone heard about the making of Stephen King's book Desperation?

That would be cool if they made Desperation...long as they don't ruin yet another book!

I think The Deadzone.............loved Chris Walken in that part! Also one of my favorite books! :D

IMO this one isn't even up for debate, The Shining is by far the best Stephen King adaptation to date. I actually think it's one of the best horror movies, not just from Stephen King. Lots of people hated Jack Nicholson's performance, which I'll never understand because I thought the transformation from caring husband to raving madman was fantastic. Watching him stalk from room to room with an axe in his hand created some of the best scenes in the horror genre, the facial expressions are really creepy as well. Kubrick's direction brings it all together, the steady cam behind the tricycle turned out amazing and is a scene every horror fan knows. The only other movie that comes close IMO is Carrie, again a great diretor (DePalma) and acting (Spacek) is the reason it turned out so well. I'm not really a fan of his straight to tv movies, most are quite lame.

PS- Stand by Me is just as good as The Shining, I just decided to stick to his horror novels.

The Shining, Needful Things, Maximum Overdrive.

My top 3. I know MO is bad, but Stephen King didnt mean for ti to be good.it's just fun.

Except Lisa Simpson is fucking irritating in that movie. "Curtis? Are you dead?" Screechy little twit...

I didn't lose my mind. I sold it on E-Bay.

Playboy magazine announced that they are going to support the troops by sending them emails from Playboy playmates. After hearing this the U.S. troops said 'Just our luck, we get emails from playmates, but we're embedded with Geraldo.'

Just dip'em in ketchup and eat away.

Mmm... I love to eat those fries....
