My favourite King film is IT. Tim Curry is exceptional as Pennywise, and the other actors are all pretty damn good at what they do. I could watch that film any Sunday afternoon of the year (mind you the afternoon would trundle on into the evening). Like others have already said, the book is superior, but this is always the case with Stephen's tales.

I have to say I'm also a fan of this too. I know many others don't like it but I always enjoy it when I watch it.

Stand By Me is one of my favourite films of all time, regardless of it being based on a King movie. The relationship between the boys is beautifully portrayed. And the bit at the end.... when River Phoenix is standing there, and he just fades away, man that gives me a lump in my throat every single time. Such a fantastic film.


I will have to check this out sounds interesting.
