I know jack shit about movies and even less about books but in the next couple of days I want to re-watch "IT" and read the book further down the line. I only saw that movie like two times in my life and that was when I was in elementary school. Tim Curry is the OG ficca for pulling off Pennywise. Oh, and i love Misery.

Damn, I never knew he did Shawshank Redemption, I'd have to go with that. The Shining was great as well.

stephen king is a nice dude. met him a few times at umaine sports games (hockey/basketball) as a kid who knew a relative of his and ran into him at a local pizza place a couple times a few years ago which i mentioned here at the time but nobody but my homeboy heinz took note of lol. he had a tab and always ordered 50 bucks of food at a time. baller.
his mind state really got messed up after that car accident, it's a shame. very humble guy who was just as crazy before fame as after. he used to talk to himself a lot in college lol RIP to the guy who hit him...he offed himself apparently.

'Christine' is a good one from my man JC. not so strong on the horror but a masterfully directed 80s flick.

If I remember correctly, he was actually walking, and was hit by a car. He was nearly killed.
Choosing a favorite Stephen King movie is pretty tough. Maybe The "Green Mile" or "The Shining." Of the more recent ones, I thought "The Mist" was pretty cool.
*Almost forgot about "Pet Semetary." I'd have to rank that one pretty high too.
-
it.
-
The Shining.
Even though King hated the adaptation, it remains on of my favorite movies of any genre. The open ended mysteries and various interpretations make it intriguing no matter how many times it's watched.

Dude I'm pretty jealous. Every time I'm in Maine I feel like I'm going to run in to him in a store but it never happens. I'd love to help him fall off the wagon while we co-author a novel while in the depths of an opium binge.

Damn, did he actually use the word "hate"? Has anybody seen the "The Shining" mini-series that came out in 1997? I've been meanin' to check that out for years.

i got a VHS of the shinning for free, gonna have to watch it tmrw

I know he was disappointed with a lot of things, like how Jack was portrayed for one. I never read the book though so I don't know how much they really changed it.

yea, i have both, and they're both really good...kubrick's version is better as a film, but the 1997 version was written and produced by stephen king, so it stays more true to the book....it's a classic in its own sense. still prefer kubrick's version, which is easily my favorite stephen king movie.
-
King regretted the fact that Kubrick dismissed much of the paranormal activity going on by attributing it to Jack's madness.
-
I actually just watched the shining and shawshank a few months ago for the first time I would probably go with the shining but shawshank was great too

Makes sense. I should pick up the book sometime, actually haven't read any of Stephen King's work.
