The Shining and Shawshank Redemption were both written by Stephen King (as was the excellent Carrie and Dead Zone). There have been good movies made of his stuff.
Wes Anderson movies are definitely an acquired taste, I can understand how people don't like them. However, for me, they're all fantastic, particularly Rushmore. His next movie is a stop-motion version of Roald Dahl's "The Fantastic Mr. Fox". That sounds pretty damn good to me.

"American Pie", very funny. The scene in the kitchen: Boy mounting apple pie on the counter & father walks in. Thats as funny as it gets.
