My my, forgot bout this thread /shame:(
Hm, interesting how you perceive Stephen King novels, haven't seen a movie based on on of his stories except Shining and It I liked (man, can't believe I forgot to mention It! Tim Curry! /fear), but Hearts in Atlantis and The Dark Tower were great, in my opinion. Nightmares and Dreamscapes also had some good stuff, oddly enough I liked the baseball story about his son the most, even though it is rather "Mighty Duckish";).
I'll have to think about your view on King, not sure I understand exactly what you mean by "obvious manipulation", the weird mingling of stories in the Dark Tower story-line for example was pure win (I should probably try to get back to proper English. Too. much. WoW.). I might be on the wrong trail there though.
