Stephen King

Whats your fav Stephen King work? and whats your opinion on his works?

My fav is The Shining(Jack Nicholson) Pet Cementary, and Storm Of The Century!

I like it how he often dosent reveal so much of the villans past and identity! A great novelist no doubt!

my fav movie is Shawshank Redemption- but I hated that short story!- movie was way better

i loved the book Insomnia and Hearts in Atlantis

I really love The Stand and Misery. both the books and the movies were awesome.

Stephen King is a excellent story teller

out of his movies My top three are storm of the century, the shining, and stand by me.

Out of his books my top three are the gunslinger, hearts in atlantis, and salems lot.

salem's lot was awesome but Dream Catcher sucked and the ending of the movie It was beyond stupid.Stephen King has more great stuff then crap but his know to start a great story then toatally near the end heads to a stupid direction.

Carrie is good. Silver Bullet is okay. Dreamcatcher isn't anything special. Misery is my favorite.

Dreamcatcher was actually a good book. I liked the direction he went, aswell as what he did with from a buick 8. Stephen king has little to no say over how his films are translated from his books to film. Atleast not when he sells the rights to hollywood studio's. ounce he signs those rights over,and cashes his check, his story no longer belongs to him. You cant blame king if his stories turn out to be shit on film, which 90% of the time they are. The only time he really has a part in the production,is when he turns his stories into mae for t.v flicks,but then the budget is like milk money compared to a motion picture. the only t.v movie of his that i liked was storm of the century.

yeah, how can one person crank out so many cool novels?

If i knew, i would be swimming in money that i diddnt even know i had too.

Carrie, Pet Semetary, the Shining and Salems Lot where cool.

I went and got Storm Of The Century tonight,thanks to this thread.

Well the only King books that were made into movie that were actually good were The Shining and Shawshank, in my opinion of course.

The Shining, Carrie, The Green Mile, Stand By Me are his best.

The Dark Tower is he's best work.
Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is the best movie based on one of his works.

Carrie,and the Shining are the best of his movies to me.

Silver bullet

The Green Mile,
Stand by me,
Sometimes they come back,
Shawshank Redemption,
and looking foward to Riding the Bullet.
