- - Favorite Stephen King movie (https://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8569)

I liked just about all of the movies based off of King's books, I even liked Dreamcatcher, I don't really know why everyone else seems to hate it. The Shining is my favorite though.

IMO this one isn't even up for debate, The Shining is by far the best Stephen King adaptation to date. I actually think it's one of the best horror movies, not just from Stephen King. Lots of people hated Jack Nicholson's performance, which I'll never understand because I thought the transformation from caring husband to raving madman was fantastic. Watching him stalk from room to room with an axe in his hand created some of the best scenes in the horror genre, the facial expressions are really creepy as well. Kubrick's direction brings it all together, the steady cam behind the tricycle turned out amazing and is a scene every horror fan knows. The only other movie that comes close IMO is Carrie, again a great diretor (DePalma) and acting (Spacek) is the reason it turned out so well. I'm not really a fan of his straight to tv movies, most are quite lame.

PS- Stand by Me is just as good as The Shining, I just decided to stick to his horror novels.

I agree with you Jack Nicholson was great in it my other favorites are The Stand,Salom's Lot,It,Needful Things

the crow...only one of those movies are good.
