Running man should be the worst of all the adaptations, the book is so entertaining that when i saw the movie I was angry with the 80's future punk style they went with, and the fact that they changed the way the game was done all together.
Great List
Maybe you're talking movie adaptations...The Stand tv series wan't that great but I liked it a lot when I first saw it. My friend thought Molly Ringwald was a terrible choice for Frannie.
I haven't seen it.
