King's work is a prime example of how low budget and/or being 'made for TV' can ruin a great story. To properly do The Stand would be about 12 or so hours long, rated R, need production by guys like Spielberg and special effects by Lucas. And at least a $300 million budget. Maybe three times that...
The Talisman would be a great one too if done well. I think Faerie Tale would be a great movie too. Half anxious, half dreading the upcoming Star Wars movies though...
