...to each their own, I guess.:confused:
I heard that..... :cool:
1408 should have been much better with actors like Cusack and Sam L. ....but it was just painfully dull with bad direction.
Unlike The Mist which was a shot in the arm for Stephen King film adaptations.

The only competition The Mist has with any other stephen king movies is The Shining. I liked 1408 too...

If I had a top 5

1. The Shawshank Redemption
2. The Shining
3. The Mist
4. Pet Semetery (even though the book KILLS it)
5. 1408

most stephen king movies are really bad, Pet Semetery and 1408 aren't even that amazing but they get on there anyway.

Really? I'd have Carrie in my top five for sure...

it was in my original 5, but I haven't seen it in forever and forget a lot of it.

Not only Carrie but Misery, Delores Clairborne and The Green Mile... oh wait- I guess I have a completely different top 5- with the exception of The Shining.

You should check it out again, better than 1408 I thought. Then again, so was The Dead Zone and The Green Mile... but that's all a matter of opinion. :)

Misery... almost forgot about that one.

Shawshank
The Mist
Misery
The Dead Zone
&
Carrie

would probably be my five (not in order).

The Dead zone was bad :p

Misery could easily replace 1408 in my list though, misery or carrie. I DID like 1408 though

I didn't forget that one... that one holds a special place in my heart....see I have this fear/disgust towards breaking ankles... so the infamous sledgehammer scene sets that movie apart from the others for me. By the way, I normally hate when they don't stick to the material from which the movies are made(which is why I hate Wanted) but I found the whole ankle thing much much more disturbing.
