One of my favorites. I ended up in ER and ICU during covid times. Lucky for me, it wasn't covid, just metastatic breast cancer. It was surreal. Seperate spaces for covid and noncovid patients. Nurses suffering from PTSD. Crazy times, but nowhere near as crazy as The Stand. If you are wondering, I've been in remission since then.

Stephen King has said that The Stand is not his personal favorite of all his books, but that many of his fans say it is their favorite. It's certainly my favorite of his, for sure. And this 1994 miniseries is unbeatable. And it's eerily prescient of the way the world is polarized between good and evil today.

I find it so interesting that Stephen King who was admittedly not a Christian, yet he wrote this book with the end time battle of good vs. bad!

I first read the Stand when i was about 17 in the late '80s because of my late father who was a big Stephen King fan, and it was the best book i had ever read. I must of read it 30, 40 times or more over the years. I keep going back to it, it's my favourite book. I like this screen version of it, but I'm so glad that i read the book first. I've never seen the recent remake of the Stand. It's got a lot of mixed reviews and from what i've read most people prefer this version. I will get around to buying the DVD or Blu-ray of the 2021 version at some point just out of curiosity, but i would definitely recommend the book to anyone who hasn't read it.

This is looking more and more likely as time progresses. One of my best and oldest friends recently asked me if I'd read this book (as he knows I'm a Stephen King fan) and I told him I had read it many times, and he then told me that he started to read it but couldn't finish it because it was pertinent and terrifying to what's been going on recently. I told him that while that may be true, he should absolutely finish it because it's a great book and worth the read. I often wonder just how long it may be until this becomes reality.

Stu red man is still my favorite hero in this book/series. His steadfast dedication to his family is always something that I admire. He shows he isn’t perfect but he keeps trying to be better for himself and other. I also love Nick and cried when I first saw his death when I watched the series when I was a kid.

It is you who has kept you thus far. Nothing and no one else. A supreme being? An omniscient deity? It would be great if it were true…….. but all evidence, is, sadly, to the contrary. I do not mock you nor your beliefs… but it is simply illogical, when looking at our big fat mess of a planet IMHO. Good book. Not too bad a series with Sinise. In fact, by the standards of 1994, it is actually rather good in places. Dreadful recent remake. (and Amber Heard detracts from every project to which she attaches herself).

Forget the clown crap & the pet cemetery. This book is a masterpiece, and this movie adaptation is excellent. Ray Walston is my favorite, very underrated actor. Book’s worth reading and this adaptation is worth watching. Next best as far as his books is the Tower series, my husband enjoyed those.

By that point in his career he was being pressured to write more horror stories. As a result, they weren't very good. I think he was a better short story writer and thriller, rather than horror writer. Misery was one of my favorites. And the Green Mile.

Just cause *_YOU_* don't enjoy some of King's other works doesn't mean they're "crap". The beauty about King is that there is something for everyone that enjoys what King does. The whole idea of "best" is purely subjective. There is no "best" cause everyone's idea of "best" will differ at some point. _'Pet Semetary'_ and _'IT'_ are great, along with _'The Stand',_ _'The Shining,_ _'Misery',_ _'Christine'_ and tons more of King's works. If those don't sound appealing to anyone interested in King's books/films, there's lots more to choose from.

Nearly 30 years later and the movie still makes me cry. I'm just watching the scene where Stu comes back to Franny

I've seen this movie in the past. Now after covid and the fact that it keeps going around this movie really creeps me out. I'm just going to keep to myself, not to mention all the lockdowns and omg the signs are all there. I'm stocked up and ready. I will keep my faith in God and Jesus. 🧡🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼💛

I like The Stand and have reread it several times over the years, but of the King stories I've read, I like Dolores Claiborne best.

I re-read The Stand during the Lockdown...covid 19 ...Luckily, I am retired ,had money comi ng in ,didn't have to work and be worried about lack of money ..or food and supplies because I knew something was coming from 2018 onward and really started stocking up on EVERYTHING. .And I live very rural, good landlord too.

This book was my introduction to Steven King 40 years ago. Needless to say, I have been a fan ever since. This TV. series got the essence of the story spot on. Except for a few questionable casting options it was perfect. Gary Synees did a great job but Stu Redman was a bit older and if you read the book you know Harrold was fat. could have done a better job for Franny also. Mother Abigail was born to play that part. Like I said it was as close to perfect as you could get it I'm just being nit-picky. Everyone is a critic. LOL

One of the greatest fiction books written. When you're reading it you go into become a part of this world.

I’ve been a Stephen King fan since I was 14 and read my first book. I don’t read books a second time, but I actually read this three times. I had to read the unabridged version when it came out and then I read it again a couple of years later. The first publication was the least interesting. Stephen King knows what he’s doing and he has proven it time and time again! I love that I’m an Oregonian and have been to Mt. Hood and so many other places that were done here!

One hell of a movie no doubt 😊 I watched it back in my day and my mom also read the book. I've never seen a book that thick!! Steven King is a master mind ❤ and I love all his movies! Thanks for sharing this with us 😊

I remember watching this on TV and later online, since it is one of my favorite Stephen King Adaptations, but I have to say that this really hits differently when watching this after COVID. Good stuff!

I was never much impressed by Stephen King’s writing until I was stuck on a 13-hour road trip and I ended up reading my father’s copy of *The Stand (Complete and Uncut)*. First off, as a 12-year-old, intellectually-precocious kid who had hit puberty around 9, and had power fantasies on top of the lot of it, I was entranced by the figure of Randall Flagg. Now in my 40s, I feel as if civilised Americans are beset on all sides by tens of thousands of little Randall Flaggs.

I wonder how many people noticed that Stephen King IS in the movie?? 😁

@Brokenhearted2030

He is in almost every movie that comes from his books. Just watch for him. Lol

Some of Stephen King's books don't look too favorably on religion, but maybe just the fanatical kind, such as in Children of the Corn, Carrie, and Silver Bullet, in which (spoiler alert!) the pastor is the werewolf. I saw only bits of this movie when it first came out as a mini-series on TV. The part I remembered best was the A-bomb destroying Las Vegas. So, I was surprised that this movie really has a lot of religious and spiritual overtones, which, in my view, just made it better. Someone commented about its length, and it did meander at some parts, but still a wonderful movie. But, Stephen King is a lot better writer than he is an actor.

I Live this show! And this version especially! I Lived watching it Live back when I was a teenager, tuning into it the nights it came on. Same as "IT" when they did that 1. Same as "TommyKnockers". "The Langoliers" wasn't a very good 1 they did like that on t.v tho I didn't think. "The Stand" is awesome tho! The wife and I have to have the TV on all night and for years we let "Prometheus" and/or "Oblivion" play all night for the music but the past 3-4 years we have been letting "Rhe Stand" play. It's a 6hour ling movie so we have 2 machines setup, 1s a DVD player and 1 is a BluRay player. I'll put disc1 in 1 machine and disc2 in the other. If either of us wakes n notices the 1st disc has ended than we just switch over to the 2nd machine! Live anything by Stephen King!

Thank you so much for this! The quality of this video is as clear as when it first came out on tv! This version is my favorite of Stephen King's The Stand, also my favorite Stephen King book!

The cast only accents this nobel adaptation and with recent events maybe reminds us that life is short and can end at a moments notice...so try to be the best person you can and be prepared for the worst.
