AAAGH! That was tough! I went with Misery, though Green Mile is a very close second. Shawshank was good, no doubt, but there were too many changes and too much simplification of the characters for me. That they are complex--no one purely good or bad--is what draws me to that particular story. The movie had a Jesus complex (in my opinion, of course) that made it too pat.

They're all three very good movies, arguably the three best sK adaptations. I chose Misery due to it being a movie I loved before I even realized it was from a sK book, as well as the fact that it includes one of my all-time favorite acting performances (James Caan), that it was so scary and unique, and that the screenplay was written by William Goldman, a long time favorite novelist and screenplay writer.
