Steven Spielberg picked "The Godfather" as "the greatest American film ever made," and Stephen King has included "The Godfather Part II" on his list of top 10 favorite movies of all time.
In an X post on Sept. 8, the award-winning horror author dropped his list of 10 favorite movies. The list is “in no particular order," and he did not include any of his own adaptations.
King's list was primarily dominated by '70s classics and spanned multiple genres from thrillers to romantic comedies. It included works of notable directors such as William Friedkin, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Billy Wilder and Spielberg, as well as legendary actors Humphrey Bogart, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert De Niro. The list also included award-winning classics and movies adapted from books.
The National Medal of Arts recipient added that the list excludes his own adaptations, such as "Misery" and "Stand By Me," both of which were directed by Rob Reiner, and "The Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption," which were both helmed by Frank Darabont.
