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)

1. The Shining
2. Stand by Me

In Tier 1 by themselves for me

Stand By Me might even be a top ten movie of all time for me.

2. The Shining (1980)
3. Stand By Me

My only conflict was the 10th spot I couldn't decide between Silver Bullet and Pet Sematary

Also countable

the mist would potentially make my t0p 10. definitely if it was limited to horror.

Same as The Mist

The worst list would be the list Stephen King would make.

Had to swap Silver Bullet for Pet Sematary
