I've enjoyed MANY of the movies based on King's books and stories. I remember watching Cujo as a kid. When the dog is attacking the car and the kid is screaming in horror and the mom is trying to make him stop. I still can't watch that scene. It just freaks me out.
I grew up watching Stephen King movies. Needful Things, Maximum Overdrive, Pet Cemetery, Creepshow, IT.. Man I loved IT, as cheesy as it was. Then I got older and Misery, Dolores Claiborne, The Shining, Dead Zone, etc all got better. Then there's the ones I didn't even know he wrote until I'd seen the movie 2-3 times(Shawshank, Stand by Me, even The Running Man)
Really, I'm not a fanatic..
I really didn't like Desperation, The end where Spoiler: the entity tries to bribe the guy that's about to blow him up then starts telling him he's a hack and his books sucked was the best part. I wish more of the movie had that feel to it.
