Shawshank, Greenmile and The Shining are probably much better ones. Still a great one however. The shining is a godawful adaptation. Good movie, awful adaptation. I disagree, but welcome to your opinion. I know many consider it a horrendous adaptation, when I still feel it comes across in the same "creepy, slowly going insane" vibe. The problem is in the characters. The Shining is supposed to be about a troubled but caring father slowly succumbing to his demons. In the movie, Jack is just straight asshole from the beginning, there's no real descent. That's fair. I guess I just don't mind as he still goes insane anyway, and the film is pretty great regardless. It's meant to be a parable of sorts for King's alcoholism. Through that lens it's pretty easy to see why he hates the movie. It's a really personal story. --- http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/slowpoke.gif https://imgur.com/6ezFwG1 <cite>DrizztLink posted [p:924898480] in IT is prob...
