I heard he liked the recent It adaptation. I liked it a lot too. It has some problems with scares not hitting their mark, but the tone, atmosphere, and scenarios are beautifully adapted from the novel even though it doesn’t follow it very literally. Basically, I think King cares more about films capturing the heart of his work more than being completely faithful word for word. He feels that the Shining didn’t do that, regardless of how great it was.
