Oh man Crappy we really need to talk. I finally read the last book about four months ago. I wasn't even pissed. Why? Because SK was righteous to his readers to the very end. We do read all of our fave books over and over again so why can't the characters do the same?

Half great plus half long and annoying = ??? Wasn't even his best piece of work. -SJ™

All those bra shots of Nadine Cross are going to get me booted out of here. But I digress...love the book and the mini series. Get the unedited Stand with "The Kid." BRING OUT YOUR DEAD! BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!

Hated Frannie's casting most of all. One of my favorite books. EVAH. Best Stephen King movies though were Stand by Me and Shawshank Redemption with Misery rounding third.

I'm at the part where the hunchback at the dump is setting shit on fire and fucking up rats... happy place.

I kept waiting for him to plant his demon seed within her, but he didn't.

It, doesn't really stand up. I just watched it again a few weeks ago and it really was hokey. I loved Storm of the Century and most of the others you mentioned. I could watch The Stand over and over again and never tire of it. It was really well done. Which Shining are you talking about? The piece of crap by the overrated hack, Stanley Kubrick? Or the one Stephen King collaborated on? And Flagg didn't so much have a mullet as just long hair. And I was noticing yesterday ... he had a foine ass. mmm Why don't guys wear jeans like that anymore?

I was talking about the Stanley Kubrick one. But now that you mention the other one with Stephen Weber and Rebecca De Mornay, that one was horrible too.

Cujo is one of the best adaptations, I'm surprised it's ranked so low. Pet Sematary was atrocious, ditto with Sometimes They Come Back. IT is a great adaptation for the most part, but the final version of the monster, the spider thing, it's stupid and not scary.

Stand By Me (aka the Body) 5. Shawshank Redemption 6. It 7. The Green Mile 8. The Dead Zone 9. Cujo 10. Dreamcatcher 11. Storm of the Century 12. Dolores Clairborne 13. Children of the Corn 14. The Stand 15. Needful Things 16. 1408 17. The Shining 18. Apt Pupil 19. Sometimes they Come back 20. Maximum Overdrive I'm probably forgetting some.
