The Green Mile (1999)
Stephen King is considered one of the masters of horror, and has been one of the biggest names in popular literature for the past five decades. He's so prolific that it's hard to keep track of all his books, as well as the films that have adapted his work. Some are better than others, but the best Stephen King adaptations include highly acclaimed cinematic giants such as The Shawshank Redemption and The Shining.
Apt Pupil R A high school student discovers that an old man living in his neighborhood is a former Nazi SS officer. Fascinated by the dark history, he forms a sinister bond with the man, learning more about the atrocities of the Holocaust. As their relationship deepens, the student becomes increasingly involved in disturbing and dangerous behaviors.
The Shining is so allegorical that the performances at its center can be interpreted as archetypes of the American nuclear family: the violent, alcoholic father who doesn't seek help for his insecurities, the demure mother who loves her child and finds it difficult to connect with her distant husband, and the vulnerable child who needs an imaginary friend to cope.
Four friends venture into the Oregon wilderness to find a dead body, leading to an adventure where these kids confront the difficulties they have at home. This movie was even nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and for good reason. It still holds up today , as the actors elevate the material in a way that makes it feel timeless.
