Shawshank was definitely #1.

I also found Shawshank Redemption worthy of note ...

[Sawdring]

Shawshank #1. Although there is something odd about the tunnel. It seems like it is on the wrong side of the cell.

[ArmyTeach]

He also slandered soldiers as illiterate idiots. Point

There’s one missing from the list.
‘Sometimes They Come back’, I believe it was called.
Pretty cool movie. I believe Tim Matheson played the lead.

I only saw it once on TV about 15 - 20 years ago and never saw it again.

[Lancey Howard]

Also, wasn’t ‘Christine’ a Stephen King movie? And ‘Kujo’?
They were pretty good, too.

No FReeping way.... they made that trainwreck into a movie?

KK maybe I like The Reach better

I would put The Dead Zone some place in the top 15.

Yes! I forgot about that one, as well as a few others I've seen mentioned as I peruse the posts. 'Shawshank Redemption' is one of the best movies ever made, IMO.

The movie was great.... That kid played such a good kook. Is the Shinning Stephen King?

[giotto]

I've never been a Stephen King fan, but if he wrote Dead Zone and Shawshank, I'll change my opinion. The rest of the list is movies I would never see, or see again, in the case of the ones I have seen. I don't like violence in a movie unless it's relevant to a plot that can stand on its own. Kathy Bates was great in Misery, but who wants to see a movie about a psycho? Even Psycho was about how we bring on the evil that befalls us. But King's stories have a randomness to them which is depressing.

[crazydad]

Exactly that movie has it all.. Scared the Shiite out of me when I was in my teens.

[Illuminatas]

I am still waiting for one of the Premiums (HBO, Showtime) to pick up “The Gunslinger / Dark Tower”.

- - The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed.

Best opening line EVER.

[SkyDancer]

Christine is the only one worth watching ....

[Age of Reason]

Stephen King movies almost all stink.

Most of the stories are childish, predictable, and few if any are very original.

I cannot understand why his movies are so popular.
