There was just something so tight and compelling about his writing style in The Langoliers that worked so very well - something I find lacking in most of his post-80s work.

Plus it's a cracking idea.

I've tried to see the mini-series but it's always seemed practically impossible to find.

ah the Langoliers, bad acting, CGI and a really annoying little girl, all these flaws but for some reason i absolutely love it.
There are some exceptions to the acting, David Morse as the Captain and Bronson Pinchot as Toomey are the best. Even Dean Stockwell is only playing a variation of his A.L character from Qantumn Leap but it's still a great entertaining 3 hour movie, the director managed to get the atmosphere of being the only people left, spot on.

I have The R2 dvd and an old VHS copy, an it's great.

I hated The Shining by Garris and his Desperation, but his adaptation of The Stand is my fave King 'TV film' so far.

I see MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE,SILVER BULLET and CAT'S EYE have been rereleased.

I like SILVER BULLET and CAT'S EYE.

Quitters Inc and The Ledge,both from his NIGHT SHIFT book are winners.

Quitters Inc,is actually not a bad business idea.
Could you see James Woods on Dragon's Den looking for investment?

Shawshank Redemption by a mile IMO. None of the others even come close.

I actually like The Langoliers as well. As usual, not as good as the story from Four Past Midnight. I also liked Golden Years.
