A great movie

I think this has to be one of my fav Tv movies done by Steven...I have always been a big fan of his books and movies...I grew up watching this Tv movie because my mother had it on the four vhs tapes...I remember having a huge crush on Adam Stroke and Rob Lowe....(i even named my two gold fish after them he he he...) The Stand has always been a fav of mine and I always feel close to the people in the story when watching it...and when one of them dies i feel like one of my friends were taken away....I just rewatched it with a friend of mine and we both reloved it...that made me read the book...I was hooked and within a week I was done...I felt like Steven did a great job writting the book and I even cried a little...I still think they did a great job making it into a tv movie...the songs in it were great (The opening) and the cast...I loved everyone...My fave two side stories were Larry and Nick...because i liked them and i liked the people they played...I wish they could have made this into a movie but Steven was right...It would have to get cut to heel and shorter...I loved the movie and i always cry at the end....
