Which ones do you like?

Not really any of the movies, although I can't say Nicholson and the director didn't give it their best in The Shining. Carrie was certainly about as creepy as King ever got. Firestarter wasn't a great movie, but the girl who played the main role as a natural-born firebug was talented and cute. The mini-series The Stand, The Dead Zone, Cujo, and Needful Things need not have been made. Langoliers was just a really bad joke!

King books which I really enjoyed were The Stand, The Shining, Night Shift, The Dead Zone, The Talisman, Christine, Cujo, and The Dark Tower (mostly 70's and 80's works). I have to say that even some which I've enjoyed probably were pulled direct from King's ass while he was struggling not to laugh it completely clear from the rest of his particularly ugly body (he really was better at telling stories and keeping the reader on edge than creating interesting story material).  After the 80's I tired of the supernatural horror and gorrer genre, although I meant to eventually read "It", which I know is popular.

EDIT:
Oh, forgot about Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Stand By Me, and of course The Running Man as ApeNotKillApe mentioned - they were all great movies, don't know why I never saw the books if weren't direct to screenplay. They may have been part of Kings short stories collections, which I probably wouldn't remember even if I read them. Give Hollywood a short story and let the screenwriters and directors do the rest!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
