Stand By Me is my favorite Stephen King adaptation. It's based on his novella called The Body. I really loved the movie when I was in middle school/high school. It's different than a lot of what he's known for since it's not horror at all, just a coming of age story about a group of boys in 1959/1960.
@@Fallon_OConnor3256 I really need to rewatch it and see if it's still one of my top movies. But yeah, I think because it's so different than a lot of his stuff it isn't really spoken about much when it comes to his adaptations. It's more just spoken about in its own right as being a classic 80s movie.
Salem's lot has 2 or 3 adaptations. Carrie has a million adaptations I feel like the first with Sissy is the best! And The Green Miles adaptation is AMAZING!😍😭
The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption are, in my opinion, the best adaptations so far. There is a new adaptation of The Stand in the works so fingers crossed they finally do the book justice with it.
Yess, The Green Mile is so good...it has Tom Hanks in it.... also, one of my favorite King books is The Stand and it also has an adaptation...it's a mini-series with Molly Ringwald ... Stand By Me is a great adaptation... also Shawshank Redemption from one of his novellas.. it has Morgan Freeman in it
I"m currently reading The Shining... I felt I needed to read some more Stephen King thanks to you... The only King book I've read is The Green Mile after watching the movie with Tom Hanks that I thought was AMAZING! I haven't watched The Shining since I was in High School many many years ago 😩 I'm looking forward to rewatching after I finish reading. When the first Pet Semetary came out, it was pretty scary for its time, but I haven't watched it in years, so can't say if it holds up. I also loved the CHRISTINE adaptation when it came out, but again, I haven't seen that in years so I don't know if it holds up.
Hi Gabby! I read Misery and also watched the film. As you said this adaptation was absolutely good. The Green Mile is also an adaption of A Stephen King book. I highly recommend it to you. It is such a beautiful movie starring Tom Hanks.
Glad you enjoyed Misery, Katy Bates definitely plays such a good psycho. I think you'll enjoy the Green Mile, I'm pretty sure it's going to make you cry, I still get choked up and I've watched it several times. Now Carrie, with Sissy Spacek is a classic but I'm not gonna lie, some parts are cheesy but overall it's a good story and if you didn't know John Travolta stars in it.😋 Hope you enjoy them!
I bought 11/22/63 because you loved it so of course now I have to read lol. I really should get going on pet semetary I’ve had it since October and haven’t even picked it up 🥰😫
Out of the three that you watched, Misery was my favorite too. My favorite Stephen King adaptation of all time is The Shining miniseries that King did. There are two adaptations to 'Salem's Lot that I can think of off the top of my head, plus the sequel to the original movie adaptation. The Green Mile also has a movie adaptation that's pretty famous.
Salems lot has TWO adaptions. One in 1970s and one in 2000s with the one and only ROB LOWE haha (who, oddly enough, is also in the Stand, which has recently been rereleased in HD).
The Green Mile is a super solid adaptation!! Definitely recommend that one. I also was a huge fan of the movie Secret Window with Johnny Depp that’s based on Stephen King’s novella Secret Window Secret Garden, though it’s been years since I watched it. I’m also a huge fan of the newer IT with the kids as well though not everyone is 🤷🏻♀️
I think it’s probably a shorter list of which one of his books aren’t movies. Lol. Shawshank redemption, Salem’s lot, Carrie, the green mile, Christine, cujo. There are so many. I loved this video ❤️
I watched Misery for the first time last year and really enjoyed it, I thought it was so funny 😅 I also watched the new adaptation of Pet Sematary last year at the movies and I was so disappointed, the acting wasn't there.. But the book is amazing!
Binging your vlogs as per usual lol. And if u do watch Carrie I think the older movie is scarier than the newer one and if u watch Green Mile prepare to cry your eyes out!
Loved this video idea! You should try the new pet semetary one day soon and compare it to the old one. I totally agree about Sadie’s injury, in the book it was so intense and then in the show it was just a scratch. I was shocked by that scene in the show though only because her ex husband was George from Greys Anatomy and my brain could not process why he was so mean suddenly.
It (old one but more specifically new one) is one of my all time favorite horror stories and movies EVER! So much so that I currently put the book down 300 pages in :/ I just have the movies so ingrained into my head that it’s difficult to digest the same story in book form? Does that make sense? Although I do plan on finishing the book soon! Same with the shining, movie is so ingrained into my head that I didn’t like the book. Whereas books where I had no idea about the story a la Pet Semetary I found so much more enjoyable! Is that a common thing or does that even make sense what I’m saying? Lol. I read misery gave it 3 stars cannot wait to watch the movie
So I toon some of your book suggestions and read them...the one by John marrs was very black mirror esque and loved it....also ate up darling rose gold so fast....onto a new book soon called the woman on the edge by Samantha bailey and the operator by Gretchen berg
The movie misery is really good. My favorites are Stand By Me [not sure if it's a book or short story], The Green Mile, Shakshaw Redemption The Dead Zone, movie & tv show [I read the book] Secret Window, Firestarter, Cats Eye, Silver Bullet , The Shinning, the orginal IT [read the book] and original Carrie [read the book] I grew up watching these movies on tv when I was a kid. I also saw Shwsank Redemption & green mile on VHS as family movie time or watching it with my older brother. These stand out to me. I thought Pet Sematary was okay both book & movie.
If you haven't watched Sarah in ALIAS GRACE, I'd highly recommend... She is BRILLIANT! She's so under-appreciated (except by us 😉) I'm currently rewatching for the 3rd time and I just ordered Atwood's book to finally read. I hear ya when you say reading and watching the adaptation so close together... I'm currently having that issue with Little Fires Everywhere... Although I do love what the adaptation has done with IZZY. But just like your "thing" with James Franco, I have that with Kerry Washington 😁
Great video really enjoyed. I feel the same way about the Pet Cemetery movie. I have yet to read the book yet. And I want to read Misery and watched as well. And 11/23/63 book was so amazing and it made me cry also, but I haven’t watched the show. What books of his do you think you will read next and what movies will you watch??? Would love too find out.
Of all the Stephen King adaptations, the movie the Green Mile was by far the best. It will make you cry. But to be fair, I have not read the book, so what I guess I’m saying is the movie was really good. Lol
Misery is my all-time favorite Stephen King movie. The other two that I really enjoy are The Green Mile and Shashank redemptions (from the Four Seasons short stories)
omg misery is great as is the shining! im surprised you didnt like Pet sematary but i guess its meant to be creepy and campy and of note : no famous actors in it. GET THE BABY!!!! that scene still freaks me out. the lil coffin getting disturbed? and the old man playing their neighbor- i believe he is the actor from the munsters or the adams family i forget his name but he was the only good actor in it "sometimes dead is better" ahhhh i dunno why i love that movie so much but obviously its not taking itself too seriously.
The green mile stars Tom Hanks. Stand by me 1986 one of the best adaptations. Misery too it was really good although I saw it 3 decades ago. Personally I really liked IT chapter 1 & 2
I have seen Carrie, Cujo, and IT (original and newer version). I want to see the new Pet Sematary movie. But my fiancé said it wasn’t as good as the original one. So I have the original one saved on my Tubi account for free. I plan to watch it after I finish the book. I also plan to watch the Hulu series of 11/22/63 after I read the book. I just got my copy of the book in the mail. So once I finish reading Pet Sematary I will start that book.
As soon as you said Pet Semetary was your favorite SK book I was concerned you were watching the old movie. 😂 I will never forget her sister and how horrifying that scene was. But Misery can’t be improved upon. Kathy Bates can do anything. She was the original stan.
The Green Mile I JUST read it for the first time but I've seen the movie before and I thought the movie was a great adaptation!! One of my top faves for sure! Makes me cry everytime! But 11/22/63 is my favorite book of King's! I thought the series was well done but I can see where you are coming from with your personal issues too! Misery is a great film but I've never read the book. I'm about to read Pet Semetary but I dont like either of the movie adaptations. Not a fan. Let's see....oh and Salems Lot is also a movie. Never seen it all the way through. Attempted once but it's so OLD I could not get into that one.
I have to disagree with you because Misery is one of my all-time favorite Stephen King books (and I've read 50 of them), and for me, the movie was nowhere near as good as the book. It was good, yes, but I felt that so much of the story took place inside the main character's head that the movie never could have been as good. And yes, there is a movie adaptation of The Green Mile, and it's AMAZING, actually one of my favorite King movie adaptations, along with The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me.
I just finished watching the reboot version of the stand I really enjoyed it this version is way better than the 90,s version and I absolutely enjoyed the new ending that Stephen king wrote 🌟 my favorite adaptations are stand by me the stand 2021 Dolores Claiborne doctor sleep
The 2019 pet semetary adaptation is on Hulu 🖤 there’s something about the original movie that’s very nostalgic for me but, I expected to hate the 2019 version and I didn’t hate it.
Stand by me is definitely my favorite Stephen king adaptation. There’s 2 adaptations of Salem’s Lot, Salem’s lot is one of my favorite Stephen king books
Noooooo Pet Sematary is the best! BUT I did watch the movie before reading the book and i watched it when i was like 6 years old. It traumatized me lol. Pet Sematary is my fave book as well. I love both the original movie and book. The new Pet Sematary is lame... like the ending *NO SPOILERS HERE* was lame.
I have watched both versions of pet cemetery you are right the first one is so out dated the movie misery is really good kathy bates definitely deserved her oscar she was also great in delores Claiborne
I really thought you'd enjoy the 80's adaptation of Pet Sematary hahaha I personally love it, I think the cheesiness somehow compliments aesthetically the movie... like it's clearly one of those "let's rent a blockbuster vhs to watch on halloween" kind of old movie, like Child's Play or The Thing lol but yeah... the acting ain't the greatest... and let's talk about how Zelda was played by a middle aged man??? Like what the hell was thatt lmao
'Salem's Lot is a great choice. Very frightening, compelling (if a bit cheesy) love story, and wonderful setting. There is a movie and a miniseries based on the book, but--trust me--they are NOT worth watching. I have seen both, and they are truly awful. Enjoy the book!
I disagree with you that pet sematary is a bad movie. I love it because I thought the casting of gage and the eerieness of the movie was great in my opinion. I do agree that the dad's acting is terrible. He seems so bored the entire time.
Stand By Me is my favorite Stephen King adaptation. It's based on his novella called The Body.
I really loved the movie when I was in middle school/high school.
It's different than a lot of what he's known for since it's not horror at all, just a coming of age story about a group of boys in 1959/1960.
Stand by me is one of my favourite movies of all time. I forget Stephen King had anything to do with that.
@@Fallon_OConnor3256 I really need to rewatch it and see if it's still one of my top movies.

Kathy Bates in Misery is one of those roles you can't imagine being played by anyone else
Kathy Bates is so amazing in Stephen King movies. Check out Doloros Clairbourne she was so good.
My mom told me that Katy Bates was amazing in the movie Misery. I haven’t seen the movie yet. But I do have the book. Which I haven’t read yet.
Salem's lot has 2 or 3 adaptations. Carrie has a million adaptations I feel like the first with Sissy is the best! And The Green Miles adaptation is AMAZING!😍😭
I agree green mile was amazing
Yes agree!!!

Kathy Russell really? I hadn’t heard that. Ohhh I’m excited. The original was pretty great though :)
Agreed, both of these are absolutely fantastic movies.
It cracks me up...I forget how young you are...until you don't know who James Caan is. You should watch more movies with him, he is a great actor.
Yes james caan was a great actor
Yess, The Green Mile is so good...it has Tom Hanks in it.... also, one of my favorite King books is The Stand and it also has an adaptation...it's a mini-series with Molly Ringwald ... Stand By Me is a great adaptation... also Shawshank Redemption from one of his novellas.. it has Morgan Freeman in it

You should read The Outsiders and watch that one too, it’s an HBO 10 episode series.
I'm almost finished with the book, it is so good and excited to watch the series
Came here to say this. The book is good. Ben Mendelsohn and the show are great too. Super dark and ominous throughout.
Series is awesome production value and score is unreal. Book was better imo
Of all the Stephen King adaptations, the movie the Green Mile was by far the best. It will make you cry. But to be fair, I have not read the book, so what I guess I’m saying is the movie was really good. Lol

Love ur vids💜
Btw, Hi from South Africa
for me, Salem's Lot is the best Stephen King book
1408 was a short story of his that I thought the movie was better.
The green mile stars Tom Hanks. Stand by me 1986 one of the best adaptations. Misery too it was really good although I saw it 3 decades ago. Personally I really liked IT chapter 1 & 2
Carrie is a good one to watch and read. The book is really short and I love the movies.

I'm reading The Outsider right now and wanting to watch the HBO series once I have finished it....and Misery is one of my favorites
I love the dead zone. Dated but still great.
I love the Shawshank Redemption film.
Saving this to watch later because I think I’m gonna tackle at least one of these books to break my non SK reading self

Stand by me is definitely my favorite Stephen king adaptation. There’s 2 adaptations of Salem’s Lot, Salem’s lot is one of my favorite Stephen king books
The Shawshank Redemption is also a King adaptation, from "Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption".
Have you seen/read the mist by Stephen King? That was one where I liked the movie waayyy better.
Kati Wood no I haven’t!
I did enjoy the first adaptation of Salem's lot and the 2004 version
I think Kathy Bates won an Oscar for Misery too.
You need to check out Big Driver, A Good Marriage, and Thinner.🔥❤️
Kathy bates won an Oscar for her performance in this movie and another good Kathy bates movie is fried green tomatoes
11/22/63 - They cut out the portion in Deri completely! And you say it's true to the book, I hardly recognize the book in the series!
I’m not a big Franco fan, either. Too many creepy stories about him...
James Caan he also played in The Godfather he was Sonny
Noooooo Pet Sematary is the best! BUT I did watch the movie before reading the book and i watched it when i was like 6 years old. It traumatized me lol. Pet Sematary is my fave book as well.

I have watched both versions of pet cemetery you are right the first one is so out dated the movie misery is really good kathy bates definitely deserved her oscar she was also great in delores Claiborne
14:51 His cock-a-doodie name is James Caan. (If you can't tell, I'm also a fan of Annie Wilkes' unique curse words)
Please watch and read The Stand. Have you read any Dean Koontz books?
charlie isaacs no I haven’t!

Best adaptation of any Stephen Kings book was show The Outsider (at least in my opinion).ly❤️
Old pet cemetery movie is so much better than the new one.
You could watch Shawshank Redemption or Gerald’s Game
Mayra Nava I’ve seen both! 😌
The Green Mile has a fantastic adaptation, do wat h it when you get the time!
Possibly it's easier to make a movie when the story doesn't demand a suspension of disbelief - idk
'Salem's Lot is a great choice. Very frightening, compelling (if a bit cheesy) love story, and wonderful setting. There is a movie and a miniseries based on the book, but--trust me--they are NOT worth watching. I have seen both, and they are truly awful. Enjoy the book!
Carrie just watch the 1976 original and not the remake with Chloe Moretzs, it's so bad
Loved Misery the movie too. I do think the original IT was so much better and I didnt like The Shining the movie.
The Shining is a GREAT movie. But it doesn't really have anything to do with the book.
Omg I hated the pet semetary adaptation from the 80s too. The end was so so so cheesy 🤦♀️
I disagree with you that pet sematary is a bad movie. I love it because I thought the casting of gage and the eerieness of the movie was great in my opinion. I do agree that the dad's acting is terrible. He seems so bored the entire time.
I loved the book 11/22/63. I didn’t like the adaptation.
