- 'The Shawshank Redemption' (1994) Cast: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton. The Shawshank Redemption is the movie that Frank Darabont will always be best known for, but in all honesty, it would be that way for 99% of directors out there if their names were attached to it.
- 'The Green Mile' (1999) Cast: Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Morse. Frank Darabont's second Stephen King adaptation is also his second-best movie overall: The Green Mile.
- 'The Mist' (2007) Cast: Thomas Jane, Laurie Holden, Marcia Gay Harden. Few directors seem as capable of adapting the stories of Stephen King to the big screen as Frank Darabont is; after all, his three best movies are film adaptations of the legendary writer's work.
- 'The Majestic' (2001) Cast: Jim Carrey, Martin Landau, Laurie Holden. Upon its release in 2001, it seemed like no one had a desire for a movie like The Majestic, a love letter to the films of Frank Capra and an unapologetically sentimental blend of romance and melodrama.
As a director, he is known for his film adaptations of Stephen King novellas and novels, such as The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Green Mile (1999), and The Mist (2007). Darabont also developed and executive-produced the first season and first half of the second season of the AMC horror series The Walking Dead (2010–2011). Early life.
