I've read a ton of his books.
My top 10 are (not in order) Cujo, Gerald's Game, Cell, The Shining, The Stand, Christine, It, Insomnia, Misery and Under the Dome.

I didn't like the ending, the script, and the acting could've been better. The Children of the Corn tv movie was horrible, but it knew it was horrible which makes it less horrible. If that makes sense. I haven't watched The Langoliers in full yet should I Netflix it? |
I walked into the TV movie with a LITTLE bit of hope...and that hope was washed away within the first five minutes. That damn movie was the biggest waste of time since The Da Vinci Code.
As for recommending The Langoliers, well...if you want to watch a movie that has a lot of unintentional comedy, that's definitely one of the best movies in that regard. Otherwise, it's just way too stupid to recommend.

For me, it's (also not in order) The Stand, The Dark Tower series, It, The Shining, Misery, Needful Things (INCREDIBLY underrated), Insomnia, The Tommyknockers, Christine and The Dead Zone. There are just so many good ones to choose from.

Yikes. 
I might just watch it for the hell of it when I'm bored.

That was the worst scene 
He just wanted his toy

So many good books. I normally only get them from the library, but I might just start buying some.
OH... and add The Mist to my list of faves.

My favourite Stephen King book would definetly Pet Sematary. Movie wise, my fave would be Misery.

I forgot about the Mist. The movie was great, and I loved the ****ed up ending.

In the book it says they found the body and a lot of blood or something like that, doesn't it?
I believe he pulled off his arm
