The Top Stephen King Movies

There have been about a MILLION adaptations of STEPHEN KING’s work.  Some have been amazing, some have been PITIFUL.

With “The Dark Tower” hitting theaters tomorrow, and the new “It” coming in a month, “Rolling Stone” ranked King’s movies from worst to best.

But since there’s not enough bandwidth in existence to list them all, they just took 30 of the, quote, “best-known, most notable” ones.

And they stuck to MOVIES.  Which means the original “It” and “Salem’s Lot” miniseries weren’t included, as fantastic as they were.

Here are their Top 10 . . .

1. “Carrie”, 1976.

2. “Misery”,  1990.

3. “The Dead Zone”, 1983.

4. “Stand By Me”, 1986.

5. “The Shining”, 1980.

6. “The Shawshank Redemption”, 1994.

7. “Children of the Corn”, 1984.

8. “Christine”, 1983.

9. “The Mist”, 2007.

10. “Creepshow”, 1982.

Coming in at #30 is the vampire flick “The Night Flier” (1997) . . . followed by “The Mangler” (1995), “Dreamcatcher”(2003), “1408” (2007), and “Maximum Overdrive” (1986).
