Not only is it one of the best Stephen King movies of all time, it’s also one of the few 3-hour movies that pretty much anyone who’s owned a TV for 20 years should see: “The Green Mile” is a film that moves, enchants and captivates you so much that you keep watching if you happen to stumble across it while zapping – even though there are still two and a half hours left on the clock and you already know how the story will end. The fantasy drama is just always a pleasure.
However, the modern classic is running not only tonight on German free TV (and therefore with advertisements), it was finally released as a Blu-ray premiere in 4K: As it should be, Warner Bros. the film was released not only as a standard edition on 8/15, but also in the limited Unique Collector’s Edition, which, in addition to the 4K disc, also includes the film’s Blu-ray and a comprehensive booklet, a double-sided poster and trading cards:

Even though Frank Darabont only made it to 8th place in our best list of all Stephen King movies with “The Green Mile” (he also ranks 3rd with “The Condemned”), the story of innocently convicted giant John Coffey ( Michael Clarke Duncan) is probably one of the best known and most popular films of the turn of the millennium.
With a user rating of 4.5 stars, “The Green Mile” is one of the highest rated movies on FILMSTARTS. And also at has always guaranteed him a place in the top 250. More than 1.2 million (!!) votes on the platform currently help him to a strong 30th place and underline: “The Green Mile” is not only damn good, but also widely known.
