The Dark Tower (Series)
'Salem's Lot
11/22/63
The Body
The Shawshank Redemption
The Body
Carrie
Lisey's Story
Eyes of the Dragon
The Green Mile

... all have very satisfying endings, I think.

'Salem's Lot is one of my favorite books of all time. To bad the movie sucked total goat balls. Would love to see it remade now.

Misery had a kickass ending, even better than the movie, which was also very solid. The Dark Half's ending, while weird, was pretty good as well.

King is definitely more about the journey than the destination when it comes to his endings. The Stand is a great example of that. An extremely meh ending but everything else is just amazing.

I dunno... The ending to The Stand was ok. I guess one thing that did piss me off about it was when "the hand of god" ignited the nuke. The whole ****ing novel was all about what choices people make, god totally stayed out of it.
It shouldn't have been that way. However, the ending where Stu and Tom made their way back was pretty cool.

IT ended in kind of a cool way IMHO. I thought it really took some imagination and took the reader on a journey.

Bad endings are:
Needful things
The Tommyknockers
Under The Dome (worst ever)

King said that he had a different ending in mind for "11/22/63" but his son, Joe Hill, came up with a better one. King should pay him to do that on every book from here on.

I recently re-read "IT" and the ending wasn't as bad as I remembered. There are still some eye-rolling parts but it was better than remembered.

Yeah... The gang-banging 12 year olds was a little much.

Yeah, that's the part that ruins it for most people, I think. It's not bad outside of that.
