LOL, agreed

Definately Pet Sematary.

pet semetary
mysery
the dead zone

Late last night and the night before. Tommyknockers Tommyknockers knockin' at my door.

I can't name just one. Misery, The Shining (with Jack Nicholson), Pet Sematary, Carrie, Christine

the Shining and Carrie

Kubrick and De Palma need i say more ?

The early Stephen King movies were good, but as it got closer to the century, the movies got worse.

But Secret Window was okay.

The shining
Dark half
The Green mile
Stand by me
Sliver bullet

The Shining (Kubrick obviously)
Salems Lot(Tobe Hooper)
The Dead Zone
Stand By Me
Misery
Silver Bullet

have to see that again...

Kubrick's version of The Shining. followed by Pet Sematary. I like the classics too, though (Carrie, etc.). They're just not faves.

Rose Red--I just finished watching it.

Sorry no one really answered this. Actually Creepshow was a comic and the cryptkeeper was stole from that comic. So basicly they are one in the same.:D My brother actually had a couple of those comics. Tales from the crypt was also turned into a short lived comic.

I also liked Cat's eye

Wasnt the comics for creepshow produced after the movie ?...

Cat's Eye is great - for once, every instalment of an anthology actually delivers.

Favourite bits: James Woods' tobacco-nightmare sequence and watching his wife dance about to electric shocks, the entire episode of Robert Hays inching around the building ("...you flying shithouse!") and the cat/gremlin battle near the end.

the shining followed by misery

I also liked Secret Window, but not as much as the others I mentioned.

~sidebar~ Has anyone seen the version of The Shining that is 6 hours long (like a miniseries)? Well anyone who's a big fan of the book should read it because unlike Stanley Kubrick's version of it, it follows the book almost 100%. I just watched it a couple of days ago and although no one can hold a candle to Jack Nicholson's performance in the original Shining, if you've seen the miniseries, you gotta admit it's a better, more explaining, story. Possibly because Stephen King actually had a bigger role in the actual MAKING of this film.

P.S. I also love the miniseries Kingdom Hospital (even though it wasn't a very original idea of Stephen King's.)

No, it is not better. It's hideous. The Shining by Kubrick is 20 times better than the miniseries. And yes, huge fans of the book may find it truer, but for fans of MOVIES, The Shining is much superior.

And I'm quite certain Stephen King being involved in the actual MAKING of the film is a hinderance. Anytime he's involved, i.e. Max. Overdrive, the results are laughable.

I also see you put TCM 2003 version as your favorite horror movie, so that explains a lot.

Stephen King did this because he never really cared for Stanley Kubrick's version...He said that it left too much of the story out...He was ESPECIALLY pissed off about downplaying the boiler threat...King has to have at LEAST 2 ominous factors in his stories working simultaneously...You know like, if the rabid dog doesn't get you, heat and suffocation will, that sort of thing...There are examples of the 'second element' in EVERY ONE of Stephen King's stories...If it hadn't bothered him SO much, and for SO long...This second version would never have been made...It "follows the book almost 100%" because that was its purpose...

King loved Jack's performance though...As well as Shelley Duvall's

No one can argue with Nicholson's skill in this movie...I truly believe that Jack Nicholson's performance ALONE is what kept King from just telling Kubrick, "Fuck it, I hate it, you ruined, I'm not allowing you to do it"

Christine

Carrie

Silver Bullet

It

Dead Zone

Stand By Me

Green Mile

all good and I to would love to see The Mist turned into a movie.

I am not sure.... Could have been. Was more or less talking about the cryptkeeper in tales from the crypt. So yeah the movie probably came first.

The gremlin sold that movie for me. And that little knife forget about it!:D

What the fuck do Stephen King know about directing ?...He directed Maximum Overdrive (1986) and it sucked big time..
If you compare Kubricks director skills with Kings..the answer gives it self...
:)

Meh...It's true...King is a writer, NOT a director...He just tries really hard to put what was in his head when he wrote the story, onto the screen...Unfortunately, that's impossible....

They should never let King behind a Camera lens ever again!

Why do they make sooo many Stephen King movies??

The Shining

Carrie

Carrie 2

All really good but the shining was by FAR the best i havent seen christine or pet semetary yetbut after reading this thread i am tinking about it!

OMG!...You HAVE to see Pet Sematary...And Pet Sematary 2 (although it wasn't quite as good as the first one...It's still good)

If i remember correct it sucked...:cool:

The shining.

The Stand is without a doubt one of my favorite King books and movies.

Other favorite king movies, The Shining, Sometimes They Come Back, Christine and Needful Things.

Pet Semetary (cause its true to the book) and The Shining (cause its different to the book and actually improves it). I really like Stand By Me and Misery aswell.

Without a doubt...
 

The Shining...I am a huge Stephen King fan...read the book twice and I cant understand why King doesn't like it! And, to whoever brought this up, Jack Nicholson had a DAMN good performance. Possibly the best I've ever seen. Long live Stephen King.

P.S. I havent heard anything about a Desperation movie, but they are doing Bag of Bones.

have any one seen hellraiser hellbound. Hellraiser 1 2 & 3 is not so bad, I wonder if helraiser 4 is any good? long live Nightmear on elmstreet. does movies rules!

The Dead Zone. I mean you cant beat Christopher Walken being creepy.....more so then he allready is.

The Shining

"Salems lot" is one of the scariest movies i have ever seen.

But i would say that "Shawshank redemption" is, in my eyes, by far the best and most successful Stephen King movie of all times.

Its kinda funny how his few "Drama" novels are so successfull made on film and almost all his horrors are close to a "Turkey"...

misery is probably best flick

creepshows are the funnest

the stand was cool...i love that song from it

that bathroom scene in dreamcatcher with jason lee was sick

#1 The Shining
#2 The Stand
#3 Storm of the Century
The rest can just fall in behind her somewhere.


I would like to see "The Talisman" made into a movie.

IT hands down....

The Shining

followed by Pet Sematary, then Carrie.
