OK Rules first:
---
All ya gotta do is post below listing your favorite Steven King film adaptation. Will pick 4 winner round 10 PM tomorrow, so be sure to be in before then!
-Open to residents of US/Canada only.
-Winners must have been registered HTF members before noon today.
-Limiting winners to one HTF prize a month max
-HTF staff prohibited from winning.
-All decisions by me and the HTF owners are final in case of a dispute or tie =)
-Editing posts or threads will result in disqualification.
-Void where prohibited etc. This is done for entertainment value only and no prize substitutions are possible.
Simple and logical enough?
4 Winners will be selected at random using Random.org's random integer tool! All 4 will be selected at once so nobody can win more than one prize. Heres the twist tho, the winners, in order, will get their choice of the prizes just to make it interesting =)
Prizes:
Steven King's The Mist 2 disk collectors edition DVD
Atonement 4 star collection DVD
Sam and Max Freelance Police, the complete animated series
Disney's Johnny and the Sprites, meet the sprites
So a little something for everyone! Just tell me your favorite King big screen adaptation, that's it!
(BTW, mine is easily Shawshank, people are shocked when they learn that SK wrote that!)

Damn Sam, I just can't not do it. I've tried to type a different movie name several times just to be different, but I can't physically make myself.
Shawshank, Shawshank, and Shawshank.
Forgive me, but Shawshank is one of favorite if not the favorite by any writer.

I love "Cujo", myself. Just a tense, tense film.

Misery pretty damn good, adaptation
now for fluff, i also love Maximum Overdrive, King directs his own short story, and has a kick ass AC/DC soundtrack.

I would have to go with "The Langoliers". I know this wasn't even close to the best movie (tv movie), but I really dug the story for some reason.
If TV movies don't count, I would go with "Green Mile".

Stand by Me
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
