Today is
Stephen King's birthday. This week I had the chance to see
Gerald's Game on Netflix, based on a King novel by the same name. This is a really interesting movie, and I highly recommend it. In the film, a dog is referenced as Cujo, a reference to another film/novel by the same name. That got me thinking. King's books and subsequent films have become such a part of the zeitgeist that we now can use them to reference other ideas. His stories, his brand has integrated into such a presence that likely anyone in the West, perhaps most people in the world are impacted by him. Here is a short list of films and TV shows
based on his works that have had a huge impact on me:
Of course, the list of
his works is MUCH longer, and has had more impact than my limited and subjective list. What are your favorites?
