Top 5 Favorite Stephen King films (TV or Theater releases)

Simply name 5 of your absolute favorite Stephen King films, they could be either from theater or TV mini series.

My 5 faves in order:

1. Storm of the Century

This is the absolute best Stephen King film ever made. Linoge is one of the most creepiest and scariest villians I've ever seen. The man who played Linoge did such a fine job at this. Now if this movie was released in theater instead of TV mini series, that would make the film even better, but anyways, everytime I watch this movie send chills up my spine. Tim Daly is such a great actor. Very underrated too. This movie has great storytelling and great acting by cast. I love this movie and would never get tired of it even if it's 4 hours long.

2. The Green Mile

Mainly because Tom Hanks finally starring in a Stephen King adapted role. I've always thought my favorite actor Tom Hanks would fit great in a Stephen King type of film. But I would never thought Hanks would be signed to play Paul Edgecomb but to my surprise he did. I've read "The Green Mile" way before the film got the greenlight. As usual, the movie is missing many great scenes from the book like all movies from adapted books do, but I thought Frank Darabont did a great job with the film. Especially the performances of David Morse and Michael Clarke Duncan.

3. Dreamcatcher

Many of you are going to hate me for including this, but I didn't find anything wrong with this film at all. I thought it was fabulous and it was a great film. Thomas Jane, Jason Lee, Tom Sizemore, Damien Lewis, Donnie Wahlberg and Morgan Freeman. That is one incredible cast. In my book, I honestly thought the film was very entertaining. Although the book was better of course, I thought they did a good job with the film too. But there is going to be a sequel, but this movie is only half the book. But if they are going to do a sequel to this film, I hope they have the same cast.

4. Needful Things

I love this film dearly. Ed Harris and Max Von Sydow playing in a movie together. Can't get any better than that. Max Von Sydow played one of the best villians in a film.

5. Misery

Again, the book is way better, but they did a great job with the film. James Caan and Kathy Bates is what made the movie worth watching. God this movie is so great.

Honorable Mention: Carrie

This is indeed, the best Stephen King movie ever made. Brian Depalma is an amazing film director and I've always dug his work. He makes very interesting camera angles. Especially the camera angles he does with this film. He does some pretty insane camera work with this film if you watch closely to what he's doing. I grew up my whole life watching this film. I have this DVD, the Special Edition in my collection and never get tired of it. This is indeed Depalma's best film ever made. Sissy Spacek was a perfect choice for this role. She is so creepy at the end during the prom night, that's one of the best horror scenes ever filmed.
