My favourite is The Shining but there's nothing in it really between that, Shawshank, Green Mile and Misery.

Also love The Mist.

The Stand was absolutely awful.

The acting was pretty bad in a lot of it but that's like a load of Stephen King adaptations, I just loved how the ending was so unexpected.

By far the Shawshank Redemption.

Misery was alright, in a lulzy sort of way. Carrie could have been great, but was too disjointed with a godawful ending.

IT, the Green Mile and Pet Sematary sucked balls immensely.
