Stephen King often takes to Twitter, interviews and columns to advocate for the films and series he loves. However, some choices are unexpected.
Legendary horror author Stephen King is known for his enthusiastic film and TV recommendations, but his eclectic taste leads to some surprising choices. Stephen King rose to prominence in the '70s and '80s with darkly imaginative horror novels such as Carrie, Cujo and The Shining. The author’s legendary work ethic has since seen him publish 65 novels, not counting non-fiction works and short story collections.
1 Doctor Sleep When Stanley Kubrick made The Shining, Stephen King infamously condemned the film and the many changes it makes from his original novel. When King wrote the novel Doctor Sleep as a follow-up to his version of The Shining, following an adult Danny Torrance using his psychic powers to take on a dark cult, director Mike Flanagan boldly pitched King on a film adaptation that acts as a sequel to the plot of Kubrick’s original film.
5 Money Heist Stephen King is an enthusiastic fan of the Spanish crime series Money Heist. The hit Netflix series follows an ambitious, elaborately planned heist on the Spanish Royal Mint by a gang of bold criminals. The series was a record-breaking global phenomenon upon hitting Netflix , captivating many viewers, including the master of the macabre himself.
8 Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb Stephen King is often asked about his dislike for Kubrick’s The Shining, given its widespread acclaim as one of the greatest horror movies of all time. King is quick to acknowledge the film’s beauty and even heaps praise on the director. The author calls Dr. Strangelove, Kubrick's comedy about nuclear annihilation, “a movie that mean[s] a lot to me”.
