STEPHEN KING is hands down my favorite author. Every time I go on vacation, I bring a King book with me. It’s just not full-on, hang-back time without the King tagging along! DESPERATION and CELL are the last two that I devoured and right now I’m in the process of finishing up DUMA KEY which is kicking my ass BIG TIME (it would make a great film in my opinion – hit it up Darabont!)!
And once I’m done with that sick puppy I’ll be tackling LISEY’S STORY. Can’t wait! Now a lot of films have been made out of King’s novels/short stories and here are my 6 FAVORITE ones. I am not saying that they are the best, or the better received ones by the masses, just the 6 movies that I dug the most! Share with us your TOP 6 KING TO SCREEN adaptations below!
Arrow Note: See the director’s cut which is superior to the Theatrical Cut in my opinion…
