The Green Mile. OK, enough...

Yeah, that's the name of the story. I like the film more though. I think the story Stand By Me is based on actually came from the same anthology that Rita Hayworth & the Shawshank Redemption was in. It was called Different Seasons, or something like that.
The Green Mile is probably one of King's best book-to-film adaptations.
I like his older stuff, but apart from one or two books his work in the last decade or so has been kind of....blah. The one thing the guy needs is an editor. Way too much padding in his newer stuff.
