What's your favorite movie based on a Stephen King novel?

[BrokenVisage]

I know I didn't poll ALL of them, so don't flame me if you like "The Langoliers" or some other poorly adapted movie. Other then that, you know what you doing. My pick goes to Shawshank but I loved so many others like The Green Mile and Stand By Me. It sucks they (Hollywood) couldn't make some of his greatest works into better movies, I'm glad they got some right but it's still amazing all these stories could come from one man.

Shawshank probablly. I also like the made for tv adaption of Salems Lot.

wow, I never knew he wrote shawshank. Nice. The Shining is still the best tho. 🙂

 

[Bumrush99]

Shawshank is the best movie. The best adaptation is the Green Mile, very close to the book/

The Shining for the horror stuff. The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me are a close match in the 'regular' fiction genre. Personally, I'd love to see an adaptation of the Long Walk.

The Shining

EDIT: The Kubrick version

Where's the option for "I hate all of Steven King's crap" ?

Edit: I take that back. Shawshank is great.

I had no clue shawshank was by him. I definitely chose that one.

For horror its a tie between Pet Semetary and The Shining.

P.S. I don't read at all either 😛

I voted for Shawshank because it is truly the best of the bunch but "The Stand" is good too.

steven king's horror "movies" are horrible except for the shining

You missed one of the best adaptations ever: Firestarter... That would actually get my vote.
