[Sexy Beast]

Did anybody think The Stand was kinda dumb?

Good book...but terrible mini-series.

The Shinning FTW.

Cujo, dead zone, stand by me, green mile, and yes his books are better than the movies versions, loved the book version of the stand, hated the series.

[ManBearPig]

M-O-O-N that spells meh

in most all cases book>movie

 

[OODA Loop]

none, books are always better than the movie. and idk which book i like the best

This is especially true of King's writing style. He has a way of setting up a scene that works in a book, but looks terrible in a film. The best example of this is with The Shining:

In the Kubrick adaptation the plot strays from the book enough to make a cohesive film. While the mini-series, which is very close to the novel, feels over baked and stupid.

My personal favorite of King's works are The Stand and The Man in the Black Suit (Everything's Eventual)

 

[?nti-Distablishment]

On The Stand the book was better than the movie as books are usually better.


It all depends if you like movies or books better I guess or for some other reason.

 

[Dayman]

the mist was horrible you're telling me at the endthey didn't hear the army coming? bull is what i got to say. horrible horrible

 

[sKuLLz]

Salem's Lot, hands down.

 

[BORAT!]

the drawing of the three dont believe its a movie but great book

 

[sKuLLz]

As for his books, The Dark Tower series would make an awesome movie !!!!!

 

[Mental Buga]

It was actually watching the Dead Zone that got me in to picking up one of his books, I have to agree the films just dont do the books justice

I would love to see The Dark Tower put into a movie or a mini series, I cried my eyes out at the end of that, (especially when Jake and then oy died) and a few times during it, yeah I cry at books, bite me lol.
