The legendary author and "King of Horror" was one of many celebrities who cast their votes for the New York Time's ranking of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century, selecting 10 movies he believes deserved a spot on the list.
King's ballot contained a wide range of selections, featuring some critically-acclaimed films and, of course, a few horror movies—though he notably didn't include any films based on his own works. But six out of the 10 movies King selected ended up making the master list, speaking to his impeccable taste.
