I really enjoyed the Gunslinger series, except for Book 4 (Wizard and Glass). I have read so many of his books, it's hard to choose a favorite.

The Stand (made for TV) is probably my favorite of his films, with the exception of some bad acting in it. "It" scared the bejeebers out of me, both book and TV movie.

Worst film? The Dark Half and the one with Johnny Depp (can't remember the title, but it was based on a short story).

Worst book? Thinner.

Eyes of the Dragon was my favorite Stephen King book....in fact, I named my daughter after one of the characters: Queen Sasha

I couldn't get through the book 'The Stand'....

i liked The Stand as a book. the mini series was ok. didn't quite match what i had in my head. the beginning scene with the Blue Oyster Cult music was cool though.

I will always love this book! He had written it for his daughter and my mom gave me her copy of the book when I was little. I would read it over and over.

I have a love/hate relationship with "The Mist". I just can't freaking believe the way it ends. It's just too messed up. I haven't seen it for a few years, and I'm still pissed about the ending every time I think about it! :grumble: :explode:

He is my favorite, so I really like all of his books, and I LOVE the Dark Tower series. I'm really enjoying "Under the Dome" as a TV show, I love that they are changing things up and I can't predict everything.

I HATED the second version of the Shining (made for TV) even more than I disliked the Jack Nicholson version. And I really didn't like "Rose Red" either.

Most of the time, I am petty unhappy about anything of his that gets made into TV or movies, but there are some great ones out there. I loved the original Carrie movie. Shawshank Redemption is another example of a good one. Green Mile, too.

I'll stop now I could go ON about SK....


Long days and pleasant nights....

Part 1 of "It" was really creepy. Tim Curry as the clown was brilliant casting.

Shawshank is one of my all time fave movies.

Fav: Eyes of the Dragon
least fav: Cujo

I have read almost everyone of his books and love most of them. I am a huge fan of the Dark Tower series and related books. I love Insomnia.

Different Seasons (its a book of short stories /novellas including shawshank redemption and apt pupil.) One of the best books ever written in my opinion.

Alluminati

Hard question!

Fave Book: The Shining

Least Fave: Bag of Bones

Best Movie Adaptation: Green Mile, Dolores Clairborne

****ty Adaptation: The Langoliers (the CGI was turrible)

Reedern

My favorite book/movie is The Green Mile. Well written and the movie followed the book and had a great cast!

Christine was the first I read so I always have a bit of a soft spot for that one. Cell was probably my least favorite.

ECTexan

Huge SK fan! IT was my favorite book, but I thought the movie was really bad comparatively. The movies that remain most true to the book like Pet Cemetary, Carrie, 1408, Cujo, Apt Pupil, etc are really great. The new Under the Dome miniseries is good, too. Worst book for me was Insomnia. It was so boring I never finished it which is unheard of for me.

Lyerin

My favorite book is It, followed closely by The Stand and The Shining.

I think the movie adaptations have generally been awful, but I liked The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.
