there should be criminal charges allowed to be brought up against folks who make this comment. this movies simply fantastic and all awards are warranted!
Its quite funny but the best movies adapated to screenply from Stephen King were his short stories and those movies are all great.

Not quite true
Shawshank and Stand by me were 2 from a collection of 4 novellas bound under the book title 'Different Seasons'
Several decent ones have come from novels; Carrie, Dead Zone, Misery, arguably The Shining (arguable in the sense that King sort of disowned it). Green Mile was a serial of 6 mini-books! (first one since forever, and I don't think there's been one since).
The short storiy-based films have been fair to awful (fair==cats eye, awful==maximum overdrive)
