    Don't think I've ever met someone who didn't like this movie. Read the book beforehand as well, was one of the rare movies that can live up to the printed version.

    The Green Mile is probably another that can be placed in the same tier

    Great flick. It is one of the few Stephen King stories that I thought translated well into a movie.

    Yeah those are the other few. I was not a big fan of "Needful Things", "It", "Misery", "Pet Cemetery" as after reading the book the movie adaptation, just seem to fall short
