what is your favorite stephen king movie, /tv/?

The Langoliers

the one that isnt full of pedos

>>87582739

Stephen King is a smart guy, but I'm not a fan of his films.

There's something weird about his face but I'm not sure what.

>>87582776
>being a fan of his shitty books

King is only good as an ideas guy. He can't write. He can only come up with good concepts while fucked up on cocaine. That's why the movies are always good. Cause someone with actual talent took the source material and made it work.

The mist

Harry Potter

Blistering Idiot

Shawshank.

The Shining

Stand By Me
Misery
IT (haven't seen new one)
The Stand mini-series (guilty)

That's Tales from the Crypt 2.

>>87583417

The shining. First time watching it I thought it was pretty underwhelming tho.

>>87582933
His philtrum is too long

>>87583417
>>87583458
i was sure that was one of his short stories that they adapted

I liked Thinner.

What was so great about Stand By Me? Kids don't behave like that at all. The child acting was awful, and the drama was barely better than The Outsiders. What a hokey, overrated movie

>>87582773
This.
Too bad the cgi is literally playstation 1 tier

are you kidding? Stand By Me has the most realistic depiction of kids ever

>ywn be a little kid watching Stephen King movies again and actually getting scared by them
Also what's the name of that one with the monster bats in some sort of wool factory or whatever

>>87584036
I don't think most people even realize this is one of his.

>>87584066
Night Shift
also the title of his first collection of short stories and they are really good

Ah yeah it's this one.
Monsters look bretty good and it was surprinsingly gory.

http://darktower.wikia.com/wiki/Stephen_King_(Character)

Stephen King literally wrote himself as a character in his books as a character that writes the books.

>>87583956
What I find very hard to believe is how understanding and sentimental they are of eachother. They're all 12 year olds who have been bullied and/or abused. Real 12-year-olds (7th graders) are unempathetic assholes and typically wont let themselves get close to eachother like that simply for fear that they'll be called gay.

>>87584707
As opposed to figuratively or hypothetically writing himself as a character? Calm down. If you read all of the Dark Tower books, it actually works out fine.

>>87582773
my dad and i would always fuck around with the cgi cannonballs and the blind girl

Misery is objectively the best, most coherent adaptation.

>>87585875
I liked it and knew it's context. Wouldn't say it's King's best, though.

>>87585593
I wanted to like it, and I have a hardon for haunted house stories, but it was just too "tv movie" for me.

I really liked The Night Flier. Pet Sematary is still probably my favorite.

>>87586917
Convince me to watch Night Flier.

Very little, the appeal of it is a cat and mouse game that ends in an incredibly ironic way.

Stephen King's entire TV adaptation career is throwing a bucket of shit against a screen door and having two solid partial turds stick.

Has there ever been a more popular talentless "ideas guy" than Stephen King?

Pet Sematary

The wife's flashback scene gave the film a sense of inescapable tragedy that sort of set the mood for the whole movie.

>>87582942
>That's why the movies are always good.
I don't know about all that, but for sure his best written stuff was his collaborative stuff with Peter Straub.

>>87583528
>>87587185

>not liking the sequel, Thiccer

the TV adaptation of The Stand was good. So was Storm Of The Century

Probably Shawshank and The Shining. Turns out I don't like many of his movie adaptations.

>>87587575
Couldn't shake Dauber's "M-O-O-N, that spells moon!" - it's like he was the same character from Coach.

The first episode of Nightmares and Dreamscapes was called Battleground and it was an adaptation of one of King's stories starring William Hurt who is attacked by a box of little green army men. It fucking ruled. There is almost no dialogue at all other than Hurt's grunts and groans as he fights of this tiny brigade. Really unique television.

>>87584754
you never had friends, did you?

>>87582942
>Not reading his novellas
Shame desu

>>87587280
Kojima, George Lucas, Christopher Nolan

>>87583417
>Tales from the crypt 2
>Bordello of blood
Pick one anon

Pet Cemetery, Salem's Lot, Christine and Cujo could use remakes. I'd love to see a Long Walk and The Stand adaption

>>87583327
I read the short story of that

>>87584036
I read this book! They made a movie of this!??

>>87588234
Oh and Rose Madder. They could really cram a lot of YASS QUEEN moments into that.

>>87583277
It must say something that the best King adaptation is one that King never came to terms with and one of the worst King adaptations is the Shining that King had total control over.

>>87582739
The Shining.

>This triggers the King

>>87587999
I had three really good friends when I was 12 that I hung out with at school and on every weekend, and we were all immature pricks who enjoyed picking on eachother. We would never be really honest with or understanding of eachother like the kids in Stand by Me because we were too insecure and cared way too much about our own dumb self images.

It wasn't really like that anymore when we got to high school, but that kind of shit behavior was rampant in middle school. Kids in middle school are generally huge assholes.

Everyone I knew acted way more "nice" like the kids in Stand By Me when we were about age 9-10.

the guy who played Randall Flagg is a treasure trove of reaction images.

>>87588942
Mr. Mercedes really sucked. The only one worth reading in that set was Finders Keepers and that would've worked a lot better as a standalone novel.

>>87582739
Dark Tower

>>87589154
Finders Keepers has a good plot but it's glaringly obvious that the bad guy is a massive strawman for King's more obsessed fans.

Silver Bullet. It's a great comedy.

Friendly reminder that Stephen King is a certified cunnyposter.
