1. I watched that movie one time.
I'll never be able to watch it again. I'm too much of an empath.

2. Better acting than the critics gave the actors credit for. I've always like it.

17. Tell me about it
Mr. Jingles clearly deserved an Oscar for playing an old mouse that could still do tricks very well :)

7. I had tears streaming down my face during the
John Coffey execution scene. I've seen the movie 4 or 5 times, and it gets me every time. :cry:

14. He was, wasn't he.
The other actors were great, as well, especially Tom Hanks, and the other two who played guards in that scene. It was as if they were really FEELING the emotions as if it were real.

12. Can't watch that one again...
I hadn't read the book, so i didn't know what happened to Del.

That really happened to my former father-in-law, back in 1990.
I still get sick thinking about it.

13. Great movie
One of, if not the best, King movie adaptations.

BTW, you may want to put a spoiler warning in the subject line now.

15. I've Loved that story since King released it in Serial Form.
It was torture getting a bite you could read in a couple hours, then having to wait a month for the next installment.

It is probably one of the most faithful King book to movie translations.

And * is Percy Wetmore all over again.

16. That is one of my favorites by King
I listened to it on tape while working as a transcriptionist. I cried through so much of it, I'm sure my co-workers thought I was wack.
