stand by me

Oooh great question.

I'm gonna go with "Stand by Me" the adaption of "The Body" from Different Seasons.

It really captured the tone and mood of the story, well written, acted and directed.

@SumKindaMunster many people’s favorite.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@SleepingWithGhosts how did I forget IT. I loved Welcome to Derry too. I still have to read IT and Dream Catcher.
@4thdimensiondream you dont want to read it.. just enjoy the movie 👍
SleepingWithGhosts · 46-50, M
@4thdimensiondream Two of my favorite novels. Welcome to Derry was well done. They are already in production for the second season.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
I haven't read any of his books to compare but I think The Mist is my favorite.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@caPnAhab a remake of the Mist. There was also a tv mini series of the Mist. I think the movie was very good. Not sure why they are making a new one.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@SleepingWithGhosts I watched it and thought to myself

It's neat I can enjoy a story that mostly consists of people walking and talking to each other
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
@caPnAhab it feels like people watching. You actually get to pay attention to your surroundings
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Never been big into ANY King movie -- but I LOVE the original TV mini-series of THE STAND, and almost as good was the mini-series version of IT.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@ChipmunkErnie although I’m more of a Howard Stern fan, have you ever heard Imus’s 1200 hamburgers bit? Pretty funny.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@4thdimensiondream Don't thin k I've heard the 1,200 hamburgers bit, but maybe I just don't remember it. I never listened to him on the radio, but watched him for years when his show was simulcast on TV.

I'm watching it now and this movie just feels so magical i can't even describe it. The drum scene was amazing!

The only other movie that's ever made me feel this way was Dream Scenario with Nick Cage it feels surreal.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@AngelUnforgiven I’m so glad you loved it too. The dance/drum scene steals the movie in an unexplainable way.

@SleepingWithGhosts I should have added more context. It’s been compared to the stand. Has some similarities but unique as well.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Sidewinder @SleepingWithGhosts no love for the Dead Zone, Storm of the Century, Dr Sleep, Salem’s Lot? Did I leave any out? Oh Pet Semetary? There was another about a famous house and a haunted room.
SleepingWithGhosts · 46-50, M
@4thdimensiondream Doctor Sleep was pretty good. I also enjoyed IT, both chapters one and two.
stand by me.

the running man
SleepingWithGhosts · 46-50, M
Shawshank is the best, followed closely by Stand by Me.
BohoBabe · M
Imma say Shawshank too.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@BohoBabe I’ve prob watched it 25-30x. It’s so re-watcheable!
BohoBabe · M
@4thdimensiondream I've seen it a few times and I still love it.

4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@SpectralMourning all excellent movies.
SleepingWithGhosts · 46-50, M
@SpectralMourning They're remaking The Mist. I can't wait!
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
The Shining.
valentinesdaywife · 41-45, F
Both the Shining.. And the sequal
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@valentinesdaywife Dr Sleep had its disturbing moments for sure. I preferred the book over the movie 🎦 which is usually the case.
valentinesdaywife · 41-45, F
I read both books.. DR. Sleep was a terrific book. but the movie was solid.. They dealt w/Mr. Halloren much more in the book if I recall
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@valentinesdaywife did you watch Welcome to Derry? It really delves into Halleran’s back story.
Jessmari · 46-50, T
Stand By Me and Christine.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Jessmari the Body was a great story and Reiner did a great job with the movie. I didn’t get into Christine book or movie.
campfire · 51-55, M
Tommyknockers
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@SleepingWithGhosts so you do recommend the book. I’ll give it a shot.
SleepingWithGhosts · 46-50, M
@4thdimensiondream It's fantastic.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
The Shawshank Redemption.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@bijouxbroussard I watch it every time it’s on. At least parts of it!
@4thdimensiondream Same here. 😊
