Best King Movies

[thelion]

It's difficult to choose the order, but I'd have to go with many of the standards:
Stand by Me
The Shawshank Redemption
The Stand
The Shining
Creepshow
Carrie
Misery
The Green Mile
It

No one has mentioned Secret Garden yet. Okay, not the best movie ever made, but interesting! A movie I WISH would be made is The Long Walk. I love that story!

I think you mean Secret Window.
And I agree; it's not one of the best, but worth a checking out.

I'd have to say Dead Zone was my favorite. Christopher Walken played an excellent Johnny. I tried to watch the TV series with Anthony Michael Hall, but it just sucked.
Did any of you catch Walken doing his SNL version of Dead Zone where he touches people and gets psycic flashes of mundane events like spoiled milk? Funny as hell.

Storm Of The Century

I must agree that The Dead Zone has been underrated in this list.

I've not seen many but i loved 'The Mist' but really didn't care for 'IT', maybe i was comparing it to the book and not looking on the film in its own right!?

The Shining
The Dead Zone
Misery

[Tito_Villa]

I've been told that Misery was made into a great film!?

I thought Misery was pretty good.

I think it is a fantastic movie! Kathy Bates was perfect for the role! I've seen the movie maybe 5 times now, it never gets old.

[Slee1978]

Yeah, Kathy was great in that movie

Definitely The Green Mile. Not only do I believe it to be the greatest King adaptation, I consider it my all-time personal favorite film. A film based off a story from my favorite writer, starring one of my favorite actors, featuring my drink of choice, what's not to like about it?

The Mist was also good. It's hard to find quality horror in this modern era of film making, but I think this movie qualifies as an excellent addition.
