Minimal Exposure King's films of the 1990's


'Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.'

Over the 10 years of the nineties, there were 13 film adaptations of King novels that made it to the screen.  Despite two of those being set in an all-men's prison, there was actually very little nudity over the decade.  In addition to the three films below, there was also a disturbing shower scene in 1998's Apt Pupil with the late actor Brad Renfro..  The scene itself was disturbing, and the behind the scenes drama surrounding it's filming.  You can check out more HERE:

Shawshank Redemption (1994

Although you saw a few butts from some extra's, given how the scene was shot, I wouldn't really consider this a nude scene from actor Tim Robbins.  Regardless, The Shawshank Redemption was a really beautifully shot and well done film that I resisted watching for years.  I finally saw it a few years ago and am glad I finally watched.

The Green Mile (1999)

I loved the book The Green Mile, the movie, not as well.  It was good, but too short to really cover the full story and magic of King's novel.  The only nudity was a quick glimpse of Sam Rockwell, an actor whose not a stranger to on-screen nudity.

Thinner (1996)

I'm pretty confident that it wasn't actor Robert John Burke's backside in 1996's Thinner.  Burke wore a 'fat suit' for most of the film so the butt was either CGI'd, or that of an body double. 

Dust Devil (1992)1

1992's Dust Devil was not inspired by a King novel or short story.  It was however, a horror film.  I included these caps to provide a real view of the actual backside of actor Robert John Burke.
