All Steven King is better on film than in print.

well Shawshank Redemption certainly is too and writing TWO things where the film version is better is crazy

Pro tip: Don't buy the DVDs of Kubrick's films.

Buy the Blu-Rays. Most look spectacular.

The difference is gigantic, especially since Barry Lyndon wasn't even 16x9 enhanced on its remastered DVD.

Another difference is this:

All of the films have either lossless (DTS-HD MA) or uncompressed (PCM) audio tracks, even the monaural ones. You're talking about better-than-CD quality audio.

Spartacus even has a 7.1 remix of the original 70mm 6-track mix.

for home video release kubrick actually did his own pan and scans because he didnt believe in letterboxing believe it or not

I think it's funny how 2001 holds up extremely well and 2010 was dated almost immediately.

2001 is hopelessly dated not because of PanAm but the by fact that they use Descriptive rather than Algebraic Notation when playing chess with HAL9000
