Everyone ejaculates all over the new It because of 80s nostalgia and Evil Clowns being all the rage right now, but what is the BEST King adaptation for the ages?
>>86928657
The Shining by far
>>86928873
The Shining is the best film if we look at it just from that perspective, but not the best King "adaptation" because Kubrick didn't care about sticking to the book as much (rightfully so).
King loves the 1408 film adaptation so probably that one.
The Shining. It's the only one I like.
I kind of like The Stand for nostalgia reasons.

Carrie is also pretty damn great. Is that accurate to the book?

Oh come on anon. Sissy is amazing but apart from that, the movie isn't frightening at all. All the horror moments are undercut by garish design choices and high notes on the strings that are super cheesy. I actually have no idea why people consider it a horror classic apart from the central performance. The only scary moment is a cheap jump scare in the final dream sequence.
Nobody ever says Silver Bullet, fuck you guys.

Maybe dated it the wrong word. Psycho was made 16 years earlier and is infinitely more affecting. Cheesy and overrated are better words.
>>86928657
The Shinning stands alone as a film since it drops loads of stuff from the book and Kubrick made it his own.
Creepshow
Pet Semtary
Christine
King was hands on with all of those and there all good films. The Running Man was another film King didn't like . But to make a film based on his exact concept wouldn't be too exciting.

No.
The Shining was clearly the best, but Apt Pupil, Shawshank and Green Mile were pretty good too.
As an adaptation I'd say 11.22.63 is the best.
>No Carrie
shit list
the correct answer. shining is good too

Stand by me, damn straight.
Everyone here has forgotten about the best King Kino.
Misery and >>86928873

King said this one is his favourite
>>86928657
The Shining is easily the best "Steven King Movie" but it's not a very good adaptation of the book, which to be fair is fine by me because the movie was so much better.
I like Stand By Me a lot if that counts.
>>86929087
>Classic Kino Tier
>The Shining
The Shining is entry level at best
>>86928657
The Shining
Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile come secon
Then Stand By Me
Can't be assed to actually list the rest
>>86928657
The best movie based on King's work is The Shining because it does it's own thing rather than hopelessly follow the book. The best adaptation though would be Misery
>>86928657
The Shining, The Green Mile, Misery, and The Shawshank Redemption are the only legitimately good movies.
I like Salems lot for some reason.
>>86928657
Mist and Dark Tower.
carrie, the shining doesnt count because fuck stephen king kek
The more a movie diverges from a Stephen King novel, the better it gets.
