Best Stephen King Adaptation
Posted on 6/4/10 at 10:58 am

To spin off Lacour's thoughts on the worst adaptation, what is the best?
For me, in order (not counting his prison movies):
Needful Things
Delores Claiborn
Misery

forgot it was his, followed by the green mile

Shawshank and Green Mile are obvious, which is why I didn't want to include the prison movies.
Forgot Stand by Me was a short story by him. Great call.

Loved the movie, but always had a problem that they changed the ending so much. That's one reason they re-did it on TV, although it was poorly done.

Major drawback no doubt. And even if King himself didn't like it imo Nicholson's performance made this movie an all-timer.

Silver Bullet was awesome for one reason- Busey!
Posted on 6/4/10 at 2:46 pm to indianswim
Firestarter and Misery.
Also, his book "Gerald's Game" is phenomenal, and I heard they're shopping around for a director.

I really liked that movie.
A lot of the major motion pictures made from King stuff are done well. I loved Needful Things.
The TV stuff is usually what is crap.
