Yes, Lixy, they certainly do horrid things to some of SK's novels... The Lawnmower Man was pretty bad(and nothing like the book), Salem's Lot (1977) UGH!, some of the made for TV movies have been pretty bad too. Never saw The Tommyknockers, but I think I mentioned before, that book did not hold my interest at all. Dare I say I hated it? Mayhaps...

But there are some GREAT King films... The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, and Misery were top notch in my opinion. I enjoyed Secret Window and Dreamcatcher too, though some people didn't care for them so much.

And keep an eye out for The Mist... it's from the book Skeleton Crew and is slated to be directed by Frnak Darabont, director of Green Mile and Shawshank. It will probably be at least a year, but it should be very good!
