Stephen King, the famous horror novelist, has published his list of 10 favorite films, excluding movies based on his own books. The selection reflects his diverse taste in cinema and includes influential films from the 1970s when he was in his twenties.
His choices span multiple genres, from William Friedkin's underrated thriller Sorcerer to the beloved comedy Groundhog Day. The list features acclaimed classics like Casablanca and The Godfather Part II, alongside Steven Spielberg's Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
