I'm hesitant to agree with St. Jimmy cause he's fat and ugly, but yeah I don't really like Stephen King. I know the book and movie are drastically different and I believe that the book deals more with Jack's alcoholism... which is kinda lame because alcoholism is boring, so Kubrick removed that element but didn't really add anything substantial to the story. Plus, the only thing lamer than alcoholism is Indian burial grounds. Fortunately, Kubrick is fantastic and the movie is great merely for it's atmosphere, visuals and soundtrack. HOWEVA, Goodfellas is perfect so that was my choice.
