Quote: (Originally Posted by TeriB19) Quite possibly the only 2 Stephen King books made into movies that were worth their salt. I would have to agree that those 2 are 2 of the best movies made. Hard to narrow down just one ultimate 'great movie' so I'll add a few to the mix.

Gone With The Wind
The Greatest Show On Earth
Jaws
The Best Years Of Our Lives
Forrest Gump
Imitation of Life
Braveheart

True most of the other movies made from his books have being terribly overated. I think basically every movie Tom Hanks has being in since he became a "serious actor" is up for contention including Forrest that you've already mentioned. Castaway is just simply brillant acting considering he is in that movie for so long by himself.
