Re: Best Stephen King horror/thriller movie?
Hard choice, but, I have 20, and this is NOT a top 20 list, just I have 20 faves
1.Creepshow 2.Christine 3.Sleepwalkers 4.The Stand 5.The Shining (1997 Mini-Series) 6.Maximum Overdrive (directed by King himself) 7.Pet Semetary 8.Desperation 9.The Mist 10.1408 11.The Dead Zone (Because of Walken's performance) 12.Firestarter 13.Carrie 14.Misery 15.Dreamcatcher 16.Children of the Corn 17.Apt Pupil 18.The Langoliers 19.The Dark Half 20.IT Others would include and I guess these are honorable mentions in a way, because some of these are more or less drama or contained a story based on a King story Creepshow 2 (The Raft was the only one based on a King story, the other 2 were written by George A. Romero) Tales from the Darkside: The Movie ("The Cat From Hell") The Shawshank Redemption The Green Mile Stand by Me The Running Man (Based on a novel King wrote under his Richard Bachman pseudonym) And then to pan it out, the worse King adaptations in my opinion 'Salem's Lot Thinner Rose Red Carrie (2002 TV-Movie) Sometimes They Come Back Cat's Eye The Tommyknockers Sorry I forgot to include Needful Things, just have never seen it, and as for me not including the 1979 version of 'Salem's Lot, well, Tobe Hooper deviated so much from his source material, that it was almost an original idea |
