Top 10: Stephen King Films
Oct 26, 2009 | 4 Comments | @andrewmarcecWhen horror is brought to mind, it is the tales of Stephen King that many claim are their favorites. I am no exception to this. Stephen has created tales that chilled me to the bone as a child, and now that I’m older, create the most wonderful sense of nostalgia as I watch them. I tried to keep this list specifically to the films that have been adapted to his work, not the mini-series. What do you think? Have I hit the nail on the head here, or is my taste in King films a laugh? Click on each picture for the trailer!

Oct 26th, 2009It’s not horror, but my favorite Stephen King film would have to be The Shawshank Redemption.

Oct 27th, 2009I would like to wag my finger at you in disagreement. I submit to you MY top 10 Stephen King films in kind of but not really an order:
10. The Rage: Carrie 2- Fuck those who like the original. I went on one of those “Middle school quasi-dates” to this movie so I liked it. And it had the oldest kid from Home Improvement get killed with a harpoon of all things.
9. Secret Window- Shut up, Johnny Depp is good looking.
8. The Green Mile- not my favorite but the guy getting fried with the dry sponge bit was pretty cool.
7. Creepshow- My dad was all into this and had me watch it. I dug it.
6. Stand By Me- Oh yes, your master of horror wrote the film that skyrocketted Jerry O’Connell to chubby kid fame! “You kids wanna see a dead body?”
5. Pet Cemetery- Scared the absolute shit out of me. And I think Pet Cemetery 2 (which he may not have been a part of) was the one with the dad chasing people with a power drill and drilling into them whenever he could. Creepy.
4. IT- Just found out literally last year this was Tim Curry as the clown. Weird cause I love Tim Curry. This movie fucked up my childhood. Seriously. I am still scared of gutters and going to the bathroom by myself.
3. Children of the Corn- Creepy redneck kids…and corn.
2. Shining- Yea, its a pretty good movie…I gueeeess.
1. The Running Man- Schwarzenegger. In yellow spandex. And Dynamo? Buzzsaw??? CAPTAIN FREEDOM???? I win. Best. Stephen. King. Film. EVER.

Oct 27th, 2009I approve this list however I do have a few objections to it…
Secret Window????? Oh man, you MUST have the hots for the Depp man if you added this to your top 10.
Carrie 2…if it was Carrie 2: Electric Boogaloo I would totally be on board with this film, but it isn’t, so I’m not.
Otherwise awesome choices, I stuck to more of the horror angle with this top 10, but damn you just blew me out of the water!
