That list reminded me of Se7en, cracking movie. Another goodie not mentioned (I think) is Usual Suspects (I'm boobooing, haven't searched for it)
A movie you want to wipe your brain so you can rewatch and figure it out again.
I re-watch both occasionally, but the impact of the plot twist and story-line development has obviously diminished. For me Fight Club doesn't suffer from this as much. The quality of the movie extends well beyond the schizophrenia.
Also, the screenplay is better than the book.

That brings me to another question. Has anyone read Stephen King's Shawshank Redemption? I don't even recall seeing it as a novel?

How about Memento? I have always wanted to watch the chronological version of this movie.

Yeah, it's good, it's a novella in a book that also includes Stand By Me (called The Body) and Apt Pupil and another one not made into a movie as far as I'm aware. I think the book is called Different Seasons.

Yeah, I don't really read horror so I've mostly read his non horror stuff which is generally pretty good.

I had read basically everything he had written up to the late 90s, so i probably have. But it hasn't stuck with me.

Stephen King says the movie of the Mist is better than the book. If you watch it again spot the cast members from the Walking dead . Frank Darabont is pretty loyal .
Stephen King wrote and directed Maximum overdrive and it’s terrible, not so bad it’s good , just shit . He claims he was so coked out of his mind he can’t remember it . I’d say that too if I was him after seeing it .

I remember reading the Green Mile in a series of books sent over from my mate in the states while at uni. I think it was released that way first and then combined into a novel.
I had forgotten a bunch of and it took me at least half the movie before I realised it was based on the book.

Also, the screenplay is better than the book.
The author of fight club was on Joe Rogan . He told a story about being to only guy at a writers group , they didn’t mind him being there till he got up and read a short story he wrote that had a graphic description of the main character rooting a blow up doll that sprung a leak and he was trying frantically to complete the deal in the thing before it completely deflated. They asked him to leave after that.

Not surprised given some of the fucked up shit in Fight Club... “haven’t been fucked like that since grade school”.. comes to mind..

Princess Bride, probably all time fave
Always watch Shawshank when I am scanning channels and it is on, regardless of where in movie it is
Point Break also a top 5 contender (not to be confused with a movie made recently with same name) probably seen this more than nay other movie too
Happy GIlmore, love it!Depending on mood, I reckon I could swap out another dozen or so movies into/out of my top 10.
I've never seen The Princess Bride.
Inconceivable.
Someone had to
