Pair of Steven King inspired films

Stand by Me was a very good coming of age film which I thoroughly enjoyed due to it's memorable dialogue and interesting characters. The story was simple and humble and left me in thought at the end which is always a good thing. I then finally got round to the Kubrick horror masterpiece The Shining which lived up to it's reputation very well, it was consistently tense and well acted, especially by Nicholson who was terrifying and phycotic, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. The music and camerawork was also phenomenally good, every shot was composed with care and the score simply complimented the thrills.
