Author Stephen King released his top 10 movies list on Monday, including one choice that might scare up your curiosity.
The prolific novelist noted that he excluded four films based on his own stories, “Misery,” “The Shawshank Redemption,” “The Green Mile” and “Stand by Me.” That suggests his 10 picks are actually part of a top 14.
But we digress.
King’s tastes ran classic. He chose many movies that might feel at home in other all-time rankings: “Casablanca,” “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” “Jaws,” “The Godfather: Part II,” “Double Indemnity,” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
A comedy time-loop hit, “Groundhog Day,” also made the cut, along with the 1973 gangster movie that helped stoke director Martin Scorsese’s greatness, “Mean Streets.” King also included “The Getaway” from iconic action director Sam Peckinpah.
