Forget 'Carrie,' Stephen King's Near-Perfect Thriller Resurfaces as a Streaming Hit

Stephen King is known for having his books adapted into classic movies – the film versions of Carrie, The Shining, and The Shawshank Redemption have all become as well known as the source material. One film, however, has climbed to the top of the Tubi charts 27 years after its release — a film that became one of only two King adaptations to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar upon its original release. The Green Mile, the 1999 adaptation of King’s novel, was an immediate hit in cinemas and has stayed in the hearts of all who have seen it in the years since. A powerful tale of the human spirit surviving in the most hopeless of places, it featured a career-best performance by Michael Clarke Duncan, as well as another classic turn from star Tom Hanks.
