Both were good, however, the Kubrik version was a better film. I saw a documentary in the mid-1990's on Sundance (I believe). The Kubrik version was originally a lot longer, but once it hit the cutting-room floor a lot was lost to avoid a theatrical intermission. Have the DVD, but none of the scenes are up there, and the documentary is different. I think that Stephen King could have had a really good version if he had have had the funding and not had to rely on cut-rate CGI sequences (as well as cast members).
