    Tough call, but The Stand takes it.

    Oh man, I love The Shining so much more than The Stand, but I know it won't stand a chance.
    No pun intended.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    I’m amazed that anyone in this group, especially a member like Fernando, dating back to the .net days, has not read The Stand. Epic. Failure.

    Jeez, The Shining got butchered. I'm not that surprised with it being put against The Stand, but still...
