Top Ten Stephen King Novels that Were Adapted to Film

Misery is, I guess, pure psychological entertainment; doesn't really need a lot of thinking about, which is why I placed it at #2. It's brilliantly acted by Kathy Bates and James Caan. The film is marginally better than the novel. It's my favourite psychological thriller film but not my favourite Stephen King film.

Great movie adapted from a Stephen King book even if King himself hated the movie.

This scared me so much

Riding the storm in my mind choosing between The Green Mile and Misery was one hecky-peck of a ride. In the end it came down to which story affected me mostly and The Green Mile won by a few steps short of a mile. Both story and film are a breathtaking look at humanity: it makes you think about yourself and the wonders of the world around you. A tear-jerker that made me weep enough tears to irrigate the Gobi Desert. It really does deserve first place. But the voting isn't just down to me; other users will possibly have their own ideas.

Probably his most scariest book of all, because it comes to terms with what still goes in in our society

This movie isn't anywhere close to the quality of movies like Misery or The Green Mile, but it's still an entertaining movie nonetheless. Directed by George A. Romero, the same guy who wrote Night of the Living Dead (and may he rest in peace), this movie and the source material it's based off of revolves around a removed parasitic twin of a writer Thad Beaumont; and Thad just so happens to indirectly use the twin as a pseudonym for his writing career, and is forced to put it to rest after his secret is discovered. However, the twin manifests itself and commits murders that Thad is blamed for. A bizarre premise, but it's made up for with a chilling atmosphere and great acting, especially from the main star of the film Timothy Hutton. The only problem is the conclusion of the film, which was disappointing after intense build-up and twists. However, the movie is still enjoyable in its own right.
