Stephen King Film/TV Movie Adaptation Ranking

Post by Jason »

Thought on this a little bit. Figured I'd do a top ten for now as I've not seen all of his film adaptations. I had the Creepshow movies in there originally and decided to omit them since they just felt out of place on a list full of books-turned-movies. But feel free to list them on yours.

10) Silver Bullet (1985)
9) Pet Sematary (1989)
8) The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
7) IT (1990)
6) Misery (1990)
5) Salem's Lot (1979)
4) The Shining (1980)
3) The Green Mile (1999)
2) Christine (1983)
1) Stand By Me (1986)

Yeah, he's untrustworthy on his adaptions, the final straw was the Dark Tower praise. Lulz.
