Just wondering if you lovely lovers of literature could help identify ALL of the Stephen King novels, novellas, and short stories that have been converted to movies. I'll start with all the one's I can think of and I would deeply appreciate y'all filling in the blanks. Even if it only became a Made-for-TV movie, it still counts, lol.
The Shining
It
Cujo
Cristine
The Mist
The Langoliers
Secret Window, Secret Garden
Children of the Corn
Rose Red
The Green Mile
Salem's Lot
(The one with the killer trucks, he actually directed this one himself, can't remember the name though)
Nightshift
Pet Cemetary
That's all I can think of right now, let me know what I missed.
Re: King of movies
The one with "the killer truck" is Maximum Overdrive.
There's also The Stand, The Dark Half, Misery and I think Dolores Clairborn made it too didn't it?
Re: King of Movies
1408 was pretty good. Lawnmower Man, the Creepshow movies, Needful Things, Sometimes They Come Back, Stand By Me, Sleepwalkers. Maximum Overdrive was actually made twice. Trucks! was a TV movie, I believe. Hearts in Atlantis, Firestarter, Cat's Eye, The Mangler, I think was his story, the Dead Zone, the Night Flyer, the House on Maple Street?
This is a fun topic! Really makes you think! He wrote so many short stories that you forget about. Sorry if some of these are wrong or if I repeated any.
