The Shining, which is my 10th favorite movie of all time.
Yeah, I know it isn't very similar to the novel.

Dolores Claiborne.
Truly, because of the acting performances of everyone involved.
How Kathy Bates didn't get nominated for best actress is a travesty

Mine is "Carrie"; runner-up is "The Dead Zone" (both the original versions) It bothers me that you didn't list all the movies based on a Stephen King book. Many of his other movies are better than Cujo imo. Why may I ask, did you exclude some of the more beloved ones? Let me guess, it's because YOU dislike them.  |

Dolores Claiborne. Truly, because of the acting performances of everyone involved. How Kathy Bates didn't get nominated for best actress is a travesty Totally agree. Kathy Bates was brilliant in Dolores Claiborne. I thought her acting surpassed her Oscar-award winning performance in Misery (which was also great). |

Dolores Claiborne is such an under appreciated movie. Strathairn and JJL could have been nominated also |

Stand By Me - his best story by far - book or movie Shawshank - 2nd best " … coincidentally in the same book ! Carrie The Dead Zone Christine this one really needed more "votes" allowed … IMPOSSIBLE to pick just one  |

Quitters Inc is the only thing of his that I've actually read, but I've seen a bunch of films based on his work.
The Shining is in my top 10.

She is great, but I prefer the performances of Sarandan, JJL (Georgia) and Streep. |

Why may I ask, did you exclude some of the more beloved ones? Let me guess, it's because YOU dislike them. Well, to address your first point, around 50 of Stephen King's novels/short stories have been made into film, and to have included all these would have made it a ridiculously long poll. To address your second point, I don't know for sure which Stephen King books ARE "more beloved" than CUJO (not that I thought this book was a fan favorite in particular). I thought 13 titles was sufficient for a poll like this. And I don't even know most of the books that have been made into movies. I was not about to spend 45 minutes coming up with this poll. And, besides, there only three on this list of 13 that I really like a lot. (Carrie, The Dead Zone, and Dolores Claiborne). I didn't like "Firestarter" and I didn't like "It" and I thought "Pet Semetary" was terrible. I haven't even seen "The Stand", but I included it on the poll because I've read that some people think it's his masterpiece. Besides any of that, why wouldn't the person who created such a poll NOT included titles that he or she loved? I have never read a Danielle Steele book in my life (and probably never will), so really it would make no sense for me to create a poll "what is your favorite DS book that has been made into a movie" and then go ahead and include a bunch of titles that I found on some random list. In basic terms, I made the list for fun. If my list actually OFFENDED you, then why don't YOU go make your own list with whatever titles you think should be included and then you can feel satisfied? |
