Did you like any Movie based on a S.K Book?
My favs are
Christine
Carrie
The Green Mile
"IT" was dissapointing, Pennywise was like I imagined, but the acting was horrible! "THE STAND" was wonderful! heart

yeah green mile was great!
how do you like "dreamcatcher"(Duddits)?
i've seen some short films adapted from shortstories of S.K.
they were mostly ok but don't build up this tension S.K. creates in his stories...

I saw Desperation and the new 'Salem's Lot with Rob Lowe and I thought they were both pretty decent. The original 'Salem's Lot made me laugh my arse off until tears were spilling down my cheeks.

While I haven't seen all of them, I've seen a lot so here we go.
Both versions of Carrie
Both versions of The Shining
IT
Christine
The Langoliers
Creepshow 1 and 2
Pet Semetary
The Green Mile
Desperation
1408
The Mist
The newer version of Salem's Lot
Part of The Stand
Part of Sleepwalkers
They Came From Somewhere
Part of Delores Claiborne
Thinner (if that counts since it was written under his Alias)
Secret Window, Secret Garden
There's probably more but I can't think of anything else. For the most part, I like everything on this list except Christine. I thought it was too long and drawn out, couldn't stand it. The Green Mile was probably one of the best of his movies to date. It got so much recognition. The Mist was awesome and 1408 confused the heck out of me. Desperation was really well done in my opinion considering I've only read like half the book. I'm going to stop rambling now.

I only saw the newer 'Salem's Lot, but I thought it was awesome. They managed to make it into a decent-length movie without cutting out so much that you have no idea what the hell is going on if you haven't read the book (which, the first time I saw it, I hadn't read it yet).
I did see the Secret Window, and I loved it (of course, combining Johnny Depp and Stephen King, how could anyone not?). Unfortunately, I haven't read the book for it yet.
I keep hearing that the Green Mile was good (including from my mom, who doesn't usually like Stephen King movies), but I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and watch it. It's on my to-do list, though. I haven't read the book, either, so if I get the time, I hope to read the book before seeing the movie.
Yup, so I've got a long to-do list when it comes to King material...

Carrie and The Shining...
They both were so amazing...But the TV version of the Shining that King actually directed was kinda bad and really long...
