positive · AI labelView post →We watched The Green Mile last night and I did not realize it was such a good movie. I have only ever seen it once and did not remember a lot about it. It sure is one I will watch more often in the future.

neutral · AI labelView post →Side note: Several books, films and other works are based on the Stinney case. The best known is Stephen King’s 1996 novel The Green Mile, which was loosely based on the story. It was made into a 1999 film.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's #LetterboxdFriday! I don't think much of these movies except for The Green Mile, I think the closing line is something about how long our personal green mile can feel and that is very self-aware of the movie to say. #LastFourWatched
positive · AI labelView post →Now playing: The Elephant Man This is a film that was simultaneously very, very good and (for a long time) too painful for me to revisit, putting that in the company of such films as Grave of the Fireflies and The Green Mile. Because of David Lynch, well... I *have* to revisit this. 🎥

neutral · AI labelView post →Whenever I think of what is the best Stephen King adaption to movie is best I think it could/should be Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile but it actually is Stand By Me
neutral · AI labelView post →Grave of the Fireflies. Excellent film, *important* film about the horrors, realities, and tragedies of war... but after watching it once, I felt flattened for a week. The Green Mile is another one. Again, it's well done, but I can't rewatch it. Quadruply so after Michael Clarke Duncan's passing.

negative · AI labelView post →With all of the movie memories discussed in the last couple of days, it is a reminder that the best Stephen King film adaptations of all time are Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't think he's made a bad movie, so it's difficult to pick one. I'll choose Saving Private Ryan but I also loved The Green Mile.

positive · AI labelView post →When I'd heard they were making Stephen King's Life of Chuck into a movie, I didn't appreciate how beautiful it could be. What a great film. At a time where it's hard to find the beauty in this world, this movie does just that. It's up there with Shawshank Redemption, the Green Mile, & Stand by Me

neutral · AI labelView post →Of course, one can cite facts in a film review, but that's not what was happening here. The sentence read: He noted that it was merely a "competently made Horrible Things Pouncing on People movie", and it did not live up to Darabont's past works like The Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile.

positive · AI labelView post →Happy 68th Heavenly Birthday to the wonderful Michael Clarke Duncan, Oscar-nominated film, television, and voice actor, known for his imposing figure but also his amazing versatility, especially with his now iconic role/performance as John Coffey in THE GREEN MILE (1999, dir. Frank Darabont).
