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!)


Sam

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.

Shawshank is easily #1 for me, but The Shining and Stand By Me are pretty darn good, too.

1408 is my favorite, second is The Shining.

"Carrie" was one heck of a horror film, with great performances, and gutsy, memorable and appropriately risky direction from Brian Depalma. What a way for Depalma to really announce himself as a mainstream filmmaker, and a magnificent first adaptation of Mr. King.

I'm a big fan of John Carpenter so I'll say Christine.

Yes, King hates the Kubrick adaptation (and I've choked down the Mick Garris one) but my pick is still

THE SHINING

with

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
and
THE DEAD ZONE

taking up the slack (though THE MIST is pretty great)

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

Shawshank for Drama.
Shining for Horror.

Pet Semetary, ayuh.

"It's Thanksgiving day.. for cats."

The Shawshank Redemption, of course!

Honorable Mention: The Green Mile, Stand By Me

Best TV adaptations: Salem's Lot (the original), The Stand

The Shining

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.

Christine would be my favorite.

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".

For film adaptation, "Shawshank."

For TV adaptation, "The Stand."

1. The Shining - Kubrick
2. Carrie - DePalma
3. The Dead Zone - Cronenberg
4. Christine - Carpenter

I vote for my favorite of all big screen and little screen adaptations to be the original tv production of "Salem's Lot." For theatrical production I will go with "Stand By Me." I've watched them both many times and they still hold up well.

I would also have to say Shawshank as my favourite Stephen King adaptation. My wife and I love movies with twists at the end, and Shawshank's ending is one of the best for that. I have not read the book yet though, and I'm thinking now that I really should.

For a tv adaptation, I really liked It. That was one creepy clown.

Carrie
The Green Mile
for me!
