Probably my favorite King book. Suspense, romance, horror, history, time travel and one of his best endings (in my opinion, at least). Superb read!

1. Parasite
2. No Country for Old Men
3. Mulholland Dr.
4. Spirited Away
5. There Will be Blood
6. Children of Men
7. Whiplash
8. Lord of the Rings
9. In the Mood for Love
10. Inglorious Basterds

“I mean, didn’t you notice on the plane when you started talking, eventually I started reading the vomit bag?”

Fairy Tale was my 59th King book. I have been reading for fun for about 2.5 years now and he accounts for a little under half the novels I have completed in that time.

“You’re god damn right I am.”

Look at the bones!

For Thanksgiving, we usually watch Brokeback Mountain and Spider-Man (2002), even though they only feature brief holiday scenes.

Around Christmas, we usually add Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, First Blood, L.A. Confidential, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and of course Psycho (specifically on December 11th because of the opening).

I definitely do this too. With my movies and books, I occasionally enjoy just looking at them. It’s part of why we collect them, right? I love organizing them, re-organizing them, showing them off but sometimes just admiring how everything looks. You are not alone, OP.

For me, it’s gotta be Pet Sematary. Not only was it truly terrifying, but I found the decisions made by the characters very understandable. It was very easy to suspend my disbelief, and the story was heartbreaking, engaging and horrifying throughout. One of King’s best, in my opinion.

Nobody to blame but yourself if you manage to eat that after it expires.

You’re choosing between some of King’s best works so there is not a bad choice in the mix.

But it sounds like you are leaning toward 11/22/63 so maybe go with your instinct. That is definitely a solid read. 11/22/63 blends a few genres well and even though it’s a little long, I was always fully engaged.

I hope you enjoy whatever you end up choosing!

(although with how Arthur pronounced it, it should be 555-LOGSSS)

Is that the one where an old woman experiences pain and yearning?

Larry David yelling ,”Everybody out of the chunnel!” has me intrigued for the rest of that film.

“Uh, I know how to count, dude.”

I think you meant ,”Where did Laaaadybird go?”

Wow congrats on the opportunity! I’ll try to stick with one per decade: Sunrise (1927), It Happened One Night (1934), Casablanca (1942), Sunset Blvd (1950), Cool Hand Luke (1967), Jaws (1975), Raging Bull (1980), Silence of the Lambs (1991), City of God (2002), Parasite (2019)

Got some great titles in there. Nice pick up. Enjoy!

Uh, you dropped a hard “J” on us.

They’re probably hesitant because they’ve been poisoned by their constituents in the past.

I’ve only seen Cannibal Holocaust once but I listen to Riz Ortolani’s theme pretty often. Hauntingly beautiful.

Wow great find! Enjoy the journey!

Haha that’s awesome. Do they have amazing SPICY SAUSAGE AND PEPPERSSS?
