What do you mean you only watch the films? Do you have any idea how that cinematic scene in IT where Pennywise the clown is in the shower compares to the same scene in the novel? OK, so the film clown is an iconic horror figure (and was recently re-enacted by some maniac in Northampton) but still. The clown in the book is a helluva scary guy and will haunt you for the rest of your life, not just two and a half hours of screen time.
