Such great works here. I've gotta go with The Gingerbread Girl. I was on the edge of my seat reading it, literally.

I went with The Body, but on a different day I might have went with either Shawshank or Langoliers.

I would also vote for SWSG before I voted for any of the others listed.

Oh man, that sucks. I still would have voted for The Body, but Secret Window, Secret Garden is still one of my favorite stories.

I voted for The Langoliers, despite the fact that I love Everything's Eventual, and would kill for more short stories tied in to The Dark Tower.

One of my friends-a recovering sci-fi devotee-was discussing the miniseries TV adaptation of this novella, and told me that it seemed like the stupidest idea to base a fictional story on. I replied that you shouldn't judge the merit of a Stephen King work by the excruciatingly bad film adaptations directed by Mick Garris.

He did like the miniseries based upon The Stand though.

I chose The Body. It was a great novella and it was made into one of the greatest movies of all time (Stand by Me) The Body is unforgettable!

After Shawshenk was released people forgot that for a long time "Stand by Me" and the original version of "The Shining" were the only even remotely decent Stephen King works translated to the big screen.
