One that's pretty good is the Shining with Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall.

One of the best film adaptations of a Stephen King novel, IMO.

I know a lot of diehard King fans-and King himself-were furious at Stanley Kubrick for altering the ending, but considering what a great director he was-for the most part-and how awful King is at turning his great works of fiction into even halfway decent films-with a few notable exceptions-I thought it turned out just right.

A lot of critics had the same problem with the revised version of A Clockwork Orange.

"The Shining" was a very good movie. Something about the nature of the main character's lunacy and the way that kid started to go crazy, too.
