| | Posted: | | | | I am a big fan of Stephen King, and although I like his books better than most of the movies made from them, I tend to buy the movies good or bad...   So - here's my question; How many profiles do you have with Stephen King (or Richard Bachman) credited and which ones are your favourites? I have 41 profiles and my favourites are; * The Dead Zone * The Green Mile * Dreamcatcher * The Shining (Stanley Kubrick) * The Stand * Storm of the Century * Misery * The Shawshank Redemption | | | Berak

| | Posted: | | | | I am also a big Stephen King fan.... but I am not a huge reader... so I mostly only know him from the movies. Some of my favorites are...
- Misery
- Pet Sematary
- Rose Red
- Salem's Lot
- The Shining | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm a big King fan and have nearly everything he's ever written. But I think most of his stuff doesn't get good treatment on DVD, so I have very few. It's something I've always meant to correct, but haven't for the most part. In fact the only ones I have are:
The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
Stand By Me
The Shining (HD DVD)
Then I picked up a $15 boxset this past Halloween that had:
Carrie
The Dark Half
Misery
Needful Things
The next one high on my list is the new set with The Stand (my favorite book), The Langoliers and The Golden Years. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | I tend to be more a fan of his Bachman books (not much of a horror fan) and his short stories. I only have 3 of his movies: The Green Mile, Stand By Me (one of my favs) and the Shawshank Redemption. I do want Langoliers...never realized they had released it on DVD until this thread. I'll have to hunt down a copy! | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | I have 12:
Carrie
Christine
Dolores Claiborne
Dreamcatcher
The Green Mile
It
The Langoliers
Misery
Rose Red
Secret Window
Storm of the Century
The Tommyknockers
It's hard to say which I enjoy most. Carrie and Christine are old favorites. I love Misery and Dolores Claiborne because Kathy Bates is so good in those. I've probably seen The Green Mile and Christine the most. | | | ...James

I too love the Bachman books - especially 'The Long Walk' - I would love it if someone bothered to make that one into a movie. | | | Berak

Cat's eye

Creepshow
The Dead Zone (Movie)
Desperation *
Maximum Overdrive
Pet Sematary *
The Stand
The X-files - Seasons 5 (Chinga)
I'm a fan too but I prefer is book. The movie have too much missing detail, even a 4 episodes teleserie like "The Stand" is afflicted by that.

| | Posted: | | | | Berak, I'm with you on The Long Walk! It's probably my favorite Stephen King/Bachman book (except for Different Seasons). Though, I think that he ended it a bit quickly... It'd be very interesting to see it made into movie form... | | | | Lori |

You should try reading 'The Dark Tower'... It's a seven book epic that will blow your mind - unfortunately there are no immediate plans to put it on the silver screen. Agreed. The Dark Tower is absolutely fantastic...this generation's Lord of the Rings. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?
No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose…
Rapture." |
