Top 5 Stephen King Movies




Of course I think this should probably have been a topic during the Halloween phase of the blog in October but I guess I can't seem to shake the theme just yet. But as you can see even though Mr. King is known more for his horror stories he can pretty much write anything.

1-THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994)

Oddly enough this fantastic story barely covered it's operating budget due to lukewarm response in theaters. It only seems odd because this movie continues to pop up on best all-time movies lists time and again. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are fantastic.



2-THE SHINING (1980)

Just a great horror movie. Writer's block can be a killer.



3-THE GREEN MILE (1999)

A tremendously heartwarming story about a guard and his encounter with a supernatural Michael Clarke Duncan. "We each owe a death; there are no exceptions; but, Oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long."



4-THE DEAD ZONE (1983)

Christopher Walken thinks that Martin Sheen is going to end the world. Therefore he must die.



5-MISERY (1990)

Kathy Bates is so friggin' frightening. "Go to your room, Mister Man!"
