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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Kathy Bates rocks! I love her - especially in the two movies you mention, but also in every other movie I've seen her in.

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

9 profiles :

Cat's eye
Children of the Corn
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.

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...

Agreed. The Dark Tower is absolutely fantastic...this generation's Lord of the Rings.
