i love most of his books but his movies pale in comparison to his books... imho only the green mile and shawshank are worthy movies.
I do have to say although theres a lot of his movies that didnt translate well from the book I love his choices in actors for the parts.
It especially although there was a lot of bad acting from good actors. Tim Curry is an exception.
Id like to see him play the riddler in the next batman movie.

Did anyone here like the TV version of The Shining? I found Steven Weber made a great Jack Torrance. Plus, Rebecca DeMornay was nowhere near as annoying as Shelley Duvall. I would love to own that on BD.

I don't care what most people think, really, but I actually prefer the tv version of The Shining to the Kubrick one. That old one just didn't do anything for me but put me to sleep.

I really liked the TV version. I would love to have all the mini-series on Blu-ray. But for my 5 movies:

1) Misery
2) The Shawshank Redemption
3) Green Mile
4) Stand By Me
5) Christine

Has anyone seen the Salem's Lot remake/mini-series? Is the DVD worth $5?

OH, definately... I thought I was the only person who thought that.

+1 compared to the books, the only really good movies were Shawshank, Green Mile, and the Shinning for its time.
