Stephen King has halted his commentary on Donald Trump’s social media presence and his horror movie critiques to unveil a top 10 list. On Monday, the famed writer shared on X (formerly Twitter) his “10 favorite films,” omitting those adapted from his own literature.
“My 10 preferred movies (not including MISERY, SHAWSHANK, GREEN MILE, STAND BY ME),” King stated. “In no specific sequence.”
Here’s the complete list of King’s favorite films (and where to watch them):
– *Sorcerer* (1977) — available on Prime Video.
– *Godfather 2* (1974) — available on MGM+ through Prime Video.
– *The Getaway* (1972) — available on Prime Video.
– *Groundhog Day* (1993) — available on Netflix.
– *Casablanca* (1942) — available on HBO Max.
– *Treasure of the Sierra Madre* (1948) — available on Prime Video.
– *Jaws* (1975) — available on Netflix.
– *Mean Streets* (1973) — available on Prime Video.
– *Close Encounters of the Third Kind* (1977) — available on Prime Video.

The selection presents a varied array of genres, largely featuring films from the ’40s and ’70s, with several starring Humphrey Bogart. Only *Jaws* and *Close Encounters of the Third Kind* lean toward horror. If you’re looking for a ranking of Stephen King movie adaptations, we have that too.
