Interesting .  i never saw The Mist (didn't remember it being that strong a story).  Shawshank is one of my all time favorites and The Green Mile was good.  Typically movies based off of King's novels suck (with a few exceptions). 

If you liked Shawshank and The Green Mile I'm sure you would like The Mist also even though its in a completly different genre.  I not really a huge fan of horror movies but I really liked The Mist still want to get the two disc Blu ray version of the film and watch it in black and white which was his original plan of how he wanted to release it in theaters.

I'll give The Mist a go then. 

Other adaptaions i liked were Cujo, The Shining, Misery, Firestarter (1984),Cristine, and Stand by Me.  The Dark Half was alright as it followed the book more closely than most adaptations if i remember correctly (it's been a long time since I read/ watched that one and neither made much of an impression really). 

I'd like to see people go back to the mini-series format now that special effects have come up to a decent level even in regular television.  The Stand and It could have done with better visuals and actors.
