Movie Debate to the Death! Favorite Stephen King film?

Movie Debate to the Death! Favorite Stephen King film? photo



We posted over twenty 25 Flixist film awards over the course of a single week, but arguably the most important one of all has yet to be claimed: the readers' favorite film of 2010. I gave everyone a full week to pick their movie of the year, with votes spread out across The King's Speech, True Grit, Inception, Kick-Ass and 127 Hours, but in the end one film stood above the rest: Black Swan!

It's definitely a great film so it's no surprise that it won, but what's very surprising is that The Social Network didn't even receive a single vote! It just goes to show that everyone's opinions are different and that you should share your thoughts each week in our community blogs.

This week, in honor of Alex's excellent The Dark Tower editorial, I want to hear what everyone's favorite Stephen King film is. With over 100 movies, there's certainly plenty to choose from! For this debate it doesn't matter if a film is based on one of his books or not, just that he was involved with its creation in some way. Cast your vote in the comments below...

Hm, well. I was going to vote for The Running Man, but then I remembered that I think The Shining is a really solid movie all around. <br> <br>So, my vote goes to The Shining!
The Shining, because Jack Nicholson.
The Mist. I'd say The Shining, but it's a Stephen King adaptation in name only.
The Mist definitely. It's even better if you watch it the way Darabont intended it to be, which is in black & white (available on a special edition dvd)
Growing up my family watched a bunch of his horror classics, but I was to young to enjoy them, so they have always left a bad taste in my mouth. Most of his newer movies are not that great, except for The Green Mile. That is a good movie
How has no one said Shawshank Redemption? Don't get me wrong, I love The Shining, but Shawshank is an amazing movie!
I'm ultimately torn between so many and for good reason, I mean there's few that can be called cinematic masterpieces but there's also few where it can be said that they're so bad it hurts.. So this makes it hard. <br> <br>Personally I want to say Its between Shawshank and Green Mile but I love the Shining and The Mist just as much.. <br> <br>If they were ever to make a movie adaptation (theres been rumbles that they are but nothings been said that I've seen in a while) of The Long Walk, then I'd have to watch it and see, but I'd have a feeling that would be my favorite. Despite being very "Stand By Me" (which King also wrote and could probably be added to my list as well) its got a very different feel to it with its overwhelming overtone of dread, and I love that feeling in a movie/story.
Yeah Shawshank Redemption is probably the best. The Mist is actually pretty good- I forgot about that one.
Definitely The Mist, though Shawshank is as great as everyone says. With the Mist though, it's such a perfect microcosm of humanity and I was blown away with how much I sided with the main character who excelled by using sanity instead of blind faith . . . only to see him suffer for being so one sided in the end. It really affected me and and made me admit I was wrong and needed to reassess my personal thoughts look at my life a little differently in the future, and that's something I can't say of Shawshank.
My vote going to The running Man movie bcoz the concept and the cast of the movie really incredible.

Flixist Awards 2010: Most Promising New Filmmaker

Flixist Awards 2010: Best Film

2010 was a great year for movies. From animation to arthouse to generation defining film; we had it all. Most of the films up for award contention this year could have easily swept these awards any other year. It's kind of si...

Flixist Awards 2010: Best Adult Film

In retrospect . . . not the best title for a film award that's not about pornography, but "Best Mature Film" doesn't sound quite right and "Most Controversial" isn't necessarily what the award is about. My goal for this categ...

Flixist Awards 2010: Best Horror Film

I love horror films, can't get enough of them. It doesn't matter if they're good, bad, or really bad, I'll take on all comers. The real problem is that none of them really scare me. I consider myself a veteran horror buff. I...

Flixist Awards 2010: Best Action Film

It's a fact: people love explosions. That's why they keep giving Michael Bay work. He sure knows how to blow things up en masse. Needless to say, the action genre is full of explosions, along with other things that people lo...
