What other Stephen King stories have I read? He has so many I've forgotten what they all were.
And HOLY COW does he have a lot.
I'm watching 'Cujo' now and thought he movie is fairly well done (for the time) it seems like it took a departure from the book in that the book tries to gain sympathy from the reader due to Cujo's case of rabies and lack of control of his actions, whereas the movie seems to dress him up as a terrible monster (which he arguably has become).
Also, I'm pretty sure that kid was actually scared in the making of this movie too. How funny would it be if they never told him what was going on so they could get authentic reactions out of him?

This movie is one of many that could've been easily resolved with use of a cell phone. LOL!
Anyways,
Stephen King is a fun writer, and as I go through his list of stories I realize I'm far more familiar with his work than I thought (via Television/Movies more than his novels/shorts).
For me, the book is always different from the movie. I have tried to stray from using the term "better" as of late, because of course the book is better. There's always that one part you read and it filled your mind with unique imagery only viewable by you, making it that much more of a treasure to read.
When you see someone else's vision of that scene (or if it gets excluded?), you will naturally be disappointed with the film. However; most of the time -- it seems like Stephen King movies get adapted fairly well.
The Green Mile is an amazing story, one of his best written, but the movie still stands in my top 5 films of all time.
What stories do you guys like the most?
