Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies.

The first FD film was really good, and built some wonderful suspense - right up to the end.  The end ruined it for me!

my brad went to fantastfest last year as mr. monopoly, and an AMAZING amount of people thought HE WAS stephen king. and brad was completely clueless as to who stephen is, his brother had to explain it. i don't see the resemblance myself, lol!

My brother-in-law met Stephen King once. He said he has soulless, dead eyes.

Sorcerer too: it's not a horror film but a remake of the French film The Wages of Fear directed by William Friedkin 

Suspenseful, yes. But I wouldn't call it scary. Both the original and the remake are worth multiple viewings, though.

I think King went with stuff he liked that usually gets overlooked. His list seems purposely devoid of the classics.
