Kyle McIntyre , I concur. Carrie’s pretty awesome, as well. Despite King having utterly disavowed The Shining, it’s one of Kubrick’s finest films and one of King’s finest mind-screw adaptations. The film seems to do more justice to the Overlook’s menace and to Tony. (A child’s finger puppet friend is significantly creepier than a fully-grown man from the future)

Coffee's performance, the man, deserves even more recognition.

I'm always dubious about making a film from a book because it doesn't usually live up to the hype, but by God this really was a stunning movie

Brilliant, moving and extremely touching film. One of the best out there.

This is the very first movie that made me cry. I was so young that i couldn't understand what i was feeling, why was i crying over something I'm just watching on the tv. I first watched it when it was first released in VHS

The last story about the screenwritter and his cat was so cute aw

The shawshank redemption, The green mile, the majestic..it just doesnt get any better than this. Frank Darabont deserves credit as one of the best film directors ever

This is by far one of the best movies I have ever seen, it’s such a heart wrenching film…. But such a beautiful story !

I'm glad they included Dabs Greer's performance. The rest of the cast was spectacular. And Dabs' older Paul Edgecomb, especially his soliloquy at the end, was haunting.

First film I cried in the cinema to. IM NOT ASHAMED!!! sob.

One of your best lists, Gareth! Great job, keep it up! Wishing you better luck in future WhatCulture competitions.

A emotional rollercoaster of a film. An amazing story which leaves you an emotional wreck. One of my favourite films 💜

Having worked in corrections this and Shawshank were the most accurate prison movies.

The movie stands the test of time because of its absolutely perfect casting. And the story is intriguing....

I can't watch this movie again. I watched it twice and it emotionally destroyed me for days after. I dont know why. It's so powerful. P.S. I went to high school with Sam Rockwell

I just love the scene where he heals Patricia Clarkson. Everybody plays that scene so well. It is truly powerful and touching. The “I dreamed of you” and the Saint Christopher medal parts get me every time.

Only 19 for me, I read The Green Mile as a 6 part series, you'd finish one and get really anxious for the next one

One of the final films that character actor Dabbs Greer was on. He was the older version of Tom Hanks' character.

James Cromwell was actually 2 inches taller than Michael Clark Duncasn (btw pretty sure similar techniques were used to make Pam Ferris seem taller when she was playing Miss Trunchbull in Matilda, since she isnt actually that tall, in the scene where she is talking to Mr Wormwood she appears to be standing on a stool or something to elevate her height).

This film was so amazing, one of my favourites, who needs to know these very small details? It makes no difference to the success of a terrific film and the perfect cast. Well done to everyone involved and RIP to the great man, 'John Coffey, like the drink but not spelt the same'!

Absolutely one of the best! All the way around!

There were actually 3 electric chairs used. The one everyone sat it, the one used for Delacroix, and of course the small one for John. During Delacroix’s execution scene they actually an animatronic dummy, it’s what you see when Brutal is covering up Del’s corpse.

I recall being devastated when viewing the film. One of the scariest in my viewing catslogue.

I saw this movie probably a dozen times before I realized it was a Stephen King novel. A great, great movie.

When I bought my first DVD player, I asked my son which movie should I buy first? He said The Green Mile. I had no idea what it was about before then but seeing that King wrote it and Tom Hanks was in it sold me. Never regretted that purchase and still have the movie.

Awesome Cast. So well done. Duncan knocked out of the park. And Tom Hanks. How can if fail.

I had seen this movie many times as a teen. I went years without seeing it and just watched it for the first time since. Watching this as an adult and mother.... Omg it just ripped my heart to shreds. I was balling my eyes out watching this. To put things in perspective...the part where Mr Jingles gets squished was the part I cried the least which is saying alot cause I fucking cried like a baby when that asshole stepped on him.... It actually made me revile the actor who played Percy.

What an amazing and emotional movie , the quickest 3 hrs of my life , one of my favourite .

Michael Keatons real last name is Douglas which is pretty ironic as both him and Michael Douglas were considered for the role

Watched this today,the tears has caused rashes over my cheeks😭😭

The Metallica song "Ride the Lightning" is originally taken from this short story. In the movie, Tom Hanks' character states that he is cursed because he made John Coffey "...ride the lightning".

Michael Clarke Duncan and Doug Hutchinson (Percy Wetmore) made the movie what it is.

Anyone could have played Tom Hanks roll but the antagonist roll is the key roll here. Not enough credit goes to these actors....and no I’m not related to either.

#21: It makes me cry every time.😭

I remember reading the book. There where 6 books in the series. Loved it.

Amazing book, and an amazing adaption!

I like to believe that all the historical inaccuracies are just due to the old Paul retelling the story and incorporating in memories along the way that happened later in his life xD

Frankly if Michael Clarke was not part of this movie I don’t think I would’ve watched it
