Solid list, but IMO there are a couple less known Stephen King adaptions that have their own charm. They might not be as good as Misery or It (I am going to ignore Shawshank Redemption as it's not a horror), but they do offer something unique.
To be honest, I like re-watching these movies more than some of the bigger, better productions based on Stephen King literature.
What are your favourite Stephen King adaptions? Any thoughts on the list?
I was surprised to see Running Man on the list even though I like the movie and book (dystopian US in the year 2025 is an interesting setting considering recent developments); I don't know if it's that good of a production.

The Green Mile

Great movie, but I don't know if I would consider it a horror. More of a mystical thriller perhaps? But then again, The Longoliers could arguably also be labelled as more of a sci-fi thriller.

Would you consider Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption a horror?

Probably not, no. Both great movies though.

Needs to add the 1970s made for tv adaptation of Salem’s Lot. It’s been remade a number of times, but nothing gives me the willies like Tobe Hooper’s version.

First time I've heard of this (I think I watched a later adaption, which from what I remember was mediocre).
The book is above-average compared to Stephen King's other works IMO.
