Favorite Stephen King adapted movie?

Close for me between Shawshank & Green Mile. I just saw one I didn’t know was a King story called Life of Chuck. Very unusual and very good I thought. It came out in 2025.

@Sidewinder I forgot about The Cat's Eye. That's a great selection of short stories. I love Quitters Inc.

@Sidewinder what did you think of the 2 mini series adaptions of the Stand? Which happens to be my all time fav book.

@HowtoDestroyAngels Quitters inc was a great short story.

@4thdimensiondream I haven't seen those, yet, but seeing them at least once is on my bucket list.

@Sidewinder The Stand is my favorite novel by King. The two mini series don't come close to doing it justice in my opinion.

@HowtoDestroyAngels I’m totally with you. I’ve read the Stand 4x. I did like the 90s series but the book was so much better. Very good cast. The newer series was terrible. I have a recommendation a book called Swan Song by Robert McCammon.

@4thdimensiondream I'll have to check it out. Is it horror?
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@HowtoDestroyAngels I should have added more context. It’s been compared to the stand. Has some similarities but unique as well.

@Sidewinder @HowtoDestroyAngels 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.

@4thdimensiondream Doctor Sleep was pretty good. I also enjoyed IT, both chapters one and two.
