Stephen King Gift Set The Langoliers / The Stand / Golden Years

Editorial Review
The Stand: Originally aired as a television mini-series this all-star filmization of Stephen King's gripping epic of good versus evil chronicles the episodic adventures of a disparate group of people who struggle to reestablish civilization after a man-made catastrophe wipes out most of the world's population. The world abruptly ends when a deadly virus accidentally escapes from a government sponsored biological warfare laboratory. Soon people are dropping like flies from the plague but a few survive and find themselves strangely compelled to head into the West. Good-hearted people follow the voice of an ancient black woman and head for Boulder Colorado. Bad people follow the enigmatic Walkin' Dude to Las Vegas. It is only a matter of time before the two sides are forced into a climactic battle over the final fate of humanity. Golden Years: This made-for-TV mini-series from the notorious horror writer centers upon a hapless old janitor who begins undergoing incredible physical changes after he is accidentally covered with experimental chemicals following a laboratory mishap. Now the government will stop at nothing to get him back. The Langoliers: Ten passengers on a red-eye flight from L.A. to Boston discover that they are not the only people on the plane but after making an emergency landing in Bangor Maine they discover that they are the only people on the planet. This film was based off the Stephen King short story Four Past Midnight.

One of my favorites

I really loved the Stand and the Langoliers, had never seen the Golden Years, but this is now one of my favorite DVD's.

Good Choice!

I have been a Stephen King fan for years. As a result I have a pretty good collection of his books and ended up purchasing the movies as they came out. My son, who also shares the SK passion enjoys the movies so I started passing them on to him. At one point I realized that I wanted to rebuild my movie collection and when I reviewed my options Amazon.com seemed the most logical. With this pick I got three of my favorites and ordering online makes it so very simple. Thanks I am tickled with the addition to my movie library!

This is an essential Stephen King collection...a lot of his earlier works..well worth the price if you enjoy Stephen King. "The Stand" alone is worth the purchase price...if you are a fan this is a must for your collection!@

Amazon is the only place I could find THE STAND and I have wanted the DVD version for so long. I had searched all over. No luck. Amazon is great.

Stephen King Gift Set

The Langoliers was entertaining. I loved The Stand. Golden years was slow to start out, but the 2nd half of the movie was good.

Golden Yawns

2008-02-15
I loved THE STAND. It's one of my all time favorite movies anyway. I had recently read the book THE LANGOLIERS. Of course, while no movie can be as descriptive as one of King's books, I thought the movie was enjoyable. My daughter liked the Golden Years, but it was a bit too slow for me. I was yawning within the first 10 minutes of the movie and found it difficult to attend to it. But, the service by Amazon was good. The movie set came a few days earlier than expected. Overall, we were pleased with the purchase.

King is tough to put on film.

The Langoliers is very lame. The Stand with more time to develop a story, is much better.
