I like The Green Mile a lot, and The Running Man is good cheesy Arnold fun (& is completely different from the short story, if memory serves). I actually remember enjoying the 80s miniseries of Salem's Lot. I've heard that King hates the Kubrick version of The Shining.
But the best King adaptation, IMO, is Stand By Me.
hahaha. ralph text messaged jay during jay and jack. that was funny. am i the only person who when listening to jay and jack's listener feedback has trouble figuring out if a listener is a woman or a little boy? why do little boys sound so much like women?
That cracked me up as well anonymous. Listening right now - and the first caller also echoed the idea that Bonnie and Greta might not be others. I like the idea more and more.
Yeah i heard that King hated Kubrick's version also. Conversely King's film version of his own book sucked ASS. Anyone have the misfortune of catching "Ride the Bullit" (or whatever it was called?) - the most horrid short-story-to-film translation ever of a King short.

And btw, meow.
And wow, looks like the blonde girl was on the same season of 24. Weird.

Aimee - lol re: the Ringwald. I agree she annoys me as well. I think it may be that she kept playing these girls who I had no sympathy for.
Check that. She was on season 2.
Jordan - did you wait to post that until I mentioned Jack Bauer? :)
I'm with you Elias. Claire was looking gorgeous in this ep. And I'm not usually a huge Claire guy.

Beat me to it Elias.
Aimee, why no love for the Green Mile. Every time I see that movie I tear up at the end.
Hearts in Atlantis was pretty good too. Last summer's Nightmares and Dreamscapes on TNT was shiite.
totally forgot about Stand By Me - one of Rob Reiner's finest - along with Misery
Molly Ringwald will get her revenge on the blogspot - she'll be cast in Lost ;)
Oh and Molly will become a love interest with Sawyer
Molly Ringwald is Jacob.
JonJon, you're just being mean to Aimee with that last one.
Holli
i'm glad you caught that
You know, after looking at that picture of Jacob, it does look a bit like Molly Ringwald

My favorite King movies:
1) Carrie (I end up watching it at least 5 times a year...plug it up!)
2) Misery
2) Stand By Me
4) The Shawshank Redemption
5) Dolores Claiborne
I wanted to like The Green Mile, but I feel for Tom Hanks (Otm Shank?) the same way Aimee feels for Molly Ringwald.
Guesses as to what Ralph's text said?
My guess:
"LOST! AAAAAAAHHHH!"
Don't get left behind. New thread.
for me it's: Green Mile, Shawshank, Shining, (pet sematery was cool, but didn't read the books so can't compare, same with all the others actually)
Oh yeah, how could I forget Stand By Me? one of my all-time favorite films.
