The Langoliers. That's my favorite movie of his.

Christine,
I would have loved seeing scenes from the book in the movie, they were really creepy.

Storm of the Century, the tv miniseries based on it was a mind scramble

The one with a giant bird flying turned upside down and a dude writing a book in a stick house above the sea. I forgot the name of the book. It was atmospheric.
But I also liked Under the dome, Firestarter, The Dead Zone, Carrie and Pet Sematary

The Dark Tower.

Aside from his serial novel The Green Mile, it's a toss-up between 11/22/63 and The Dead Zone. Why? Kind of hard to explain, really. The concept of being able alter history and if this would actually alter it for the better, is one I find interesting. So is being able to foresee a future event, and the moral conflict that would bring.

There are no novels Stephen King has written, that I haven't enjoyed reading.

IT. The level of intricacy King put into the book is phenomenal.

wow he wrote so many. have not read one in decades. I am Shining fan though. Love the intricacy of the storyline and the character development. I admire on a whole, how dedicated he is to his craft.

The Green Mile...I like the diversity in the characters and the way the story unfolds and its not what you were expecting.

I'd say the film adaptations of some of his books were among the best.

Carrie was pretty good.

The Shining was great.

But my personal favorite was Cat's Eye, which was an adaptation of two of King's novellas, Quitters Inc, and The Ledge, with the third act, The General being an original idea for the film.

And even with all three acts in Cat's Eye being their own seperate story, they are all connected by having a stray cat as it's central character.

Misery. Friend gave it to me, told her I read it ( which I did) but damn.

It’s between The Shining & The Dead Zone. I loved both novels, but am split on the movies. Hate Kubrick’s version of the Shining, but thought Cronenberg did The Dead Zone justice.
