I'm gonna rank all of the ones I've seen.

  1. The Shining
  2. Carrie
  3. Cujo
  4. Creepshow
  5. Christine
  6. The Dead Zone
  7. Salem's Lot
  8. Doctor Sleep
  9. Pet Sematary
  10. The Dark Half
  11. Children of the Corn
  12. The Green Mile
  13. Shawshank Redemption
  14. The Shining remake
  15. Sleepwalkers
  16. The Langoliers


Cujo is massively underrated among 80s horror movies. Sincerely brutal experience with tremendous performances. Total classic. I think Pet Sematary and The Dark Half, while not great, are interesting movies and get way too much hate. I generally dislike Shawshank and Green Mile, but I don't *hate* them. Langoliers is legendarily horrible, and Sleepwalkers is just...oof. Makes The Dark Half and Pet Sematary look like the best movies ever made.

EDIT: Forgot Salem's Lot big whoops.

It's awesome that you know that. I'll go ahead and consider Cujo a "horror" film now.

Maximum Overdrive is also the only movie that Stephen King ever directed.

Dude. They let him direct that?
That was the era when King's diet was 102% cocaine.

Surprised IT hasn't been mentioned yet, I thought people were gaga over the reboot

A lot of people hated it for some reason. I thought it was incredible and more accurate to the book than the original TV miniseries was

Do people really not like The Green Mile or are all the others that much better?

I'm far from a movie junkie but TGM and Shawshank are probably in my top 5 of all movies.

The Green Mile was the first movie that came to my mind when I saw the topic title.

The Stephen King movies I've seen are The Langoliers, The Shining, Doctor Sleep, the original It and The Shawshank Redemption. I've also seen bits and pieces of The Green Mile.

I would say that my favorites have been The Shawshank Redemption, Doctor Sleep and It. In that order.

The Shining is pretty good, but I haven't seen it in years and I wasn't crazy about it. Like I don't doubt that it's good, but I'm just not the most jazzed person in the world about it. I know enough about it and appreciate it enough to have really enjoyed the Doctor Sleep fanservice, but I think I prefer Doctor Sleep's style of characterisation and storytelling over the original Shining. Though I would have to re-watch the Shining to make sure.

It (1990) is cheesy, but even as silly as it was in places, I found it to be well-acted and charming throughout.

Green Mile is one of those "It's a Stephen King movie" / "What? bullshit!" films alongside Stand By Me and Running Man.

I'm fairly sure I knew Running Man was a Stephen King movie, but I think I mentally filed it under a loose adaptation of a Phillip K Dick story.

The Bachman stuff is well within King's "all the coke!!" era, so it's plausible he stole it from Dick.
