Favorite and least favorite Stephen King books/movies?

Favorite Movies: Shawshank Redemption, The Shining, and maybe The Running Man

Favorite movie: Carrie / Christine... both were great

Favorite book: Ahem... Christine



Limited on book reads, so no least favs...

I could hate one of his books or movie and still not have a least favorite because he is my favorite author but I could never get in to the dark tower series, maybe one day i will try again and see how it goes.

I am not a huge fan of his books, well, not a fan at all, because I find them very dull in the beginning and they dont hold my interest.

His movies are intense at times, though. "It" scared the hell out of me as a kid.

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.

I have read all of his pre-1993 stuff and all his stuff since his accident. Insomnia is one book i just could NOT get my head around, did not make it thru it. May have to give it another try, just to see if it was where I was at the time.

All time favorite has to be the Stand with any of the Dark Tower books coming a close second.... It was because of Dark Tower that I finally decided to give Harry Potter a try, go fig, huh?

Favorite Movie: Shawshank Redemption
Least Favorite Movie: The Langoliers

Couldn't read him. He spends three chapters describing a blue button down shirt. Snore. Catch me now. I may not be here later.

Love a few: Pet Cemetery, IT, Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Rose Red
Hated: Langoliers, Tommyknockers

Favorite: Christine {oo)==v==(oo}
Least: Langoliers...blech

When The Green Mile came out as a series of serial novels, I was obsessed with finding the release date and getting it as soon as it came out. I love the story, and the movie was a great production of the book(s.) Bag of Bones scared the CRAP out of me. I was living alone at the time and slept with all of the lights on.

My favorite movie is probably Shawshank Redemption - so good.

My least favorite book is either Gerald's Game or Lisey's Story. The Langoliers was my least favorite movie, I think.

Only books, haven't seen many movies:

Favourite: The girl who loved Tom Gordon
Least favourite: The long walk

Just started to read "The Girl who loved Tom Gordon" last weekend! I'm at the "Third Inning" and I love it. :-)


Favorite Book: Misery
Favorite Movie: Kubrick's Shining

Least favorite Book: Cycle of the Werewolf
Least favorite Movie: there are too many. Mostly all the TV movies and mini series.

Hate Pet Semetary...too scary with the kid "I wanna play with you daddy".

Liked Cujo a lot.

Misery is my favorite.

I'm doing all the above as movies.^^

Now for the books

I liked needful things a lot.
I did not like dreamcatcher nearly as much.
There was also a weird one I can't remember where the guy sits in front of a computer too much and gets sucked in or held onto it. LOL. anyone remember that one? i think that was stephen king right?

Anyways the shining and shawshank are both amazing and fabulous but as for a movie IDK why I would still choose Misery over either, mostly I think because I like the old wry couple, and also Kathy Bates is insanely good there.

*Glances over at entire bookshelf of Stephen King* Umm...

Least favorites would have to be Lisey's Story, Duma Key, and 11/22/63. The first two just threw me off and the third just felt disjointed.

I loved Rage for all the wrong reasons. Eyes of the Dragon was my first, so it's stuck with me. I don't know how many times I've read The Stand and It. They're just epic.

Movies: The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are obvious. The original Carrie was superb, but I'm iffy about the upcoming remake.

I accept that Under the Dome will never be completely in league with the book. The book needs an ending and the series needs no such thing, while things like Junior's necrophilia and the gang rape of Angie probably wouldn't go over too well with CBS.

The Langoliers was a little too ambitious for its capabilities, Dreamcatcher just didn't work, and the Mist was just funny.

i liked "It" as a TV movie.

i didn't particularly like "Stand By Me".

I liked It as a book. I couldn't stand the movie.

I'm currently reading the Dark Tower. MY FL can just skip this as they have heard it a billion times before.

I started "The Gunslinger" in the early 90s. I read it voarciously. I jumped into the "The Drawing of the Three" head first, and finihed it in two days. I then cracked open "The Waste Lands", and raced to the end. Cliff hanger? I went out to my bookstore to find the next volume. It hadn't been written yet. I waited. I waited. I waited. Nothing. Then he started pumping out "Dolores Claiborne". "Gerald's Game"... "Where the Hell is 'Wizard and Glass'?" I raged. Soon a press release was there. He might not even finish the series. he wasn't sure. WTF? I rage quit. I threw out all my King books. I was pissed.

Just recently, I found that he had completed the series after some accident he had bringing it home to him. So, I went out and started the series again from the beginning. I just started "Wizard and Glass" this week.

Prior to that, my favorite book was "The Stand"

FAVORITE BOOK: The Stand
FAVORITE movie based on a book/story: Shawshank Redemption
LEAST favorite movie: Thinner

It's so hard to say. I can't remember how much I liked a lot of the books mentioned.

Favourite book - The Stand. I also loved the DT series, just not sure how I feel about the end (I just finished a few months ago).
There are a lot of runner ups. Needful Things and Different Seasons were close.

Least favourite book - I don't think I liked Lisey's Story. I also wasnt a big fan of Under the Dome.

Favourite movie - Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption. I haven't seen a lot of the movies though.

Least favourite movie - I was disappointed with Hearts in Atlantis.

ETA - I'm going to have to start watching the movies.
