The Langoliers I would put right at the top of the worst. It's super long (or at least seems that way) and a complete snooze.
ReplyDeleteyou are absolutely right about langoliers! revising my list.
ReplyDeleteThis might cause me to be totally shunned, but I have yet to see a Stephen King movie I haven't enjoyed on some level. That said, Sleepwalkers was pretty darned terrible. One of his movies that I think get frequently overlooked is Sometimes They Come Back. It always makes my list of favorites.
ReplyDeleteFor Salem's Lot, which miniseries? I prefer the 70's one.
I liked the Stephen King scene in Sleepwalkers. Other than that --
ReplyDeleteMy worst list would be:
ReplyDeleteTommyknockers
The Langoliers
'Salem's Lot (the Rob Lowe version)
Children of the Corn
Carrie (the made for TV one)
Sleepwalkers
I liked the Carrie TV version
ReplyDeleteThere were a couple of cute parts, but I didn't like what they did with some of the characters (they kind of made Sue sound like a sociopath during the police interviews).
