I'll go with your shite list and add in Graveyard Shift, considering it was a fantastic short story the movie adaptation stank more so than that horrid basement ever could. On top of your list of good King film adaptations I'd add The Dead Zone and Misery. By the way did you ever see 'The Stand' mini-series?<BR/>For some bizarre reason I never did.<BR/>The most powerful of books, it would be hard to put this down on film I'd have thought?<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the Woody Allen movie tomorrow night.Löst Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907139441842698894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614686743514266947.post-1762705376699203832008-07-08T23:06:00.000+01:002008-07-08T23:06:00.000+01:00Jimmy - King films are a bit of a lottery.
