Top Three King Adaptations
1) The Shining
2) Shawshank
3) The Dead Zone
1 The Shining (1980) tied with Salem's Lot (1979)
2. Stand By Me (1986)
3. Carrie (1976)
I would put The Dead Zone at about #4.
The Shining
The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
The rest of my choices run veryclose to these so it may well be that spot #3 would be a 3, 4, or maybe even a 5-way tie.
1) The Dead Zone
2) Dolores Claiborne
Then it comes a tougher choice, I don't really know. Usually I would say Kubrick's The Shining, but I saw recently a part of it and Nicholson's performance started to annoy me. Maybe I should rewatch it sometime to see has my view changed. Ok, let's say Carrie is the third, altough I like John Carpenter's Christine also quite a lot, but its probably not quite in the top3.
The Dead Zone (1983), Carrie (1976) & The Shining (1980).
Salem's Lot (1979) and Christine (1983) not too far behind.
