What's the Best Stephen King Adaptation?

Featured Replies

Finally watching The Long Walk now that Lionsgate's 4K has come out (really wanted to catch it in theaters but we had a baby in July and getting out has been more challenging). It just got me thinking what everybody sees as the best Stephen King adaptation. I think The Shining is probably the best movie based on King's works but obviously he has feelings about how much Kubrick veered from the material.

What are your top picks?

The ones on my shelf are Stand By Me, Misery, and The Shawshank Redemption. I'll also pick up Edgar Wright's Running Man when that comes out on Blu-ray. I know that wasn't the greatest movie, but I still had fun with it.

The Long Walk was very compelling, I just don't know if I can bring myself to watch that again. It's so brutal.

Gimme some of The Mist any day. I also loved Gerald's Game, and, this might be a hot take, but I was obsessed with The Life of Chuck. It literally had me crying in the cinema, so...

It shouldn't be a hot take! That movie is great! I wish the third arc were shorter, but overall I loved it too!

I did not expect the Long Walk to knock me on my ass like it did earlier this year, but man it's so hard to pick one adaptation.
