From Carrie to The Shining to some surprise picks, here are the 12 Best Stephen King movies, ranked.
For every Stephen King novel or short story, you seem to find a breadcrumb trail of adaptations in its wake. There are so many movies, TV shows and miniseries, comic books, and stage plays based on his works, and all for good reason. The man knows how to write a damn good novel and scare the life out of you at the same time. That said, casual fans might not realize that King is also an incredibly warm master of character.
11. 'Dolores Claiborne' There are a few individuals in Hollywood who just can't help but return to the world of Stephen King over and over again. Kathy Bates is one of them, returning to the author's works for a second time in Dolores Claiborne. While it isn't as gravely serious as its source material, this 1995 film is testimony to the fantastic dramatic works that King is capable of crafting.
8. 'The Mist' Frank Darabont's fourth and final King adaptation is lifted from the 1980 novella of the same name and is a deviation from his interests in the author's dramatic works. Calling it a deviation is putting it lightly because The Mist is a full-on cosmic horror nightmare. This film follows the members of a small town as they take shelter in a supermarket after a thick, sinister mist rolls over their community.
5. 'Misery' Rob Reiner's second Stephen King adaptation proved that he could take on any corner of the author's wheelhouse, this time taking him to the author's darker side. Misery follows Paul Sheldon , a famous author who crashes his car in the mountains during a blizzard and is rescued by a hostile obsessive fan, Annie Wilkes .
3. 'The Shawshank Redemption' Are you surprised? Frank Darabont's second King adaptation is his best, lifting its tale from the novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Drop the "Rita Hayworth" and you have a film that tells the story of Andy Dufresne , a man who is wrongly sentenced to life at Shawshank State Penitentiary for murder. There's not much to say that hasn't been said already.
