Gosh this channel has quanity, quality, consistency and in-depth.

Kathy Bates was exactly how I pictured the character when I read the book!

Stephen King one of my favorite authors. This just reminds me of how far behind I am on my reading !

I saw all but one of these movies. I know I read all of the books. My girlfriend and I waited until the green mile was consolidated into one book to read it. I read it all on Thanksgiving when I had to work a double all night shift on a very boring job. The movie came out soon after and we both saw it as soon as we could. We both cried more than once. That and Shawshank Redemption can make me do that today.

Shawshank Redemption, Stand by me, Thinner, Carrie, Misery, The dead zone, Cujo, Pet Sematary, The green mile, Silver Bullet.... These are the BEST adaptations of King Stories..

Dreamcatcher is one of my favorite movies! I enjoy the aliens but even more so I love the bond between the friends and their kindness in helping Dudits. Not many people actually help the bullied.

It’s a pity lots of King stories we’re made into low budget or TV movies. Many deserve a big budget remake, like The Tommyknockers and Needful Things…

The Mist is, absolutely a must watch

Can we sacrifice all the children of the corns for one good dark tower miniseries?

Unbelieveable that the fabulous Dolores Claibourne was left off this hit and miss list , some very fine acting and also very close to the novel . Tut , tut.

I really like the book of cujo as it tells part of the story from the dog's point of view so you end up feeling sorry for the dog

I really enjoyed Storm of The Century. Loved the way Andre Lenoge would air out everyone's dirty laundry. Classic King.

I love so many of Steven kings works he’s such an amazing writer and has inspired so many amazing adaptations of his work I often try to imagine what the world would be like if he was never born, I can’t

"the lawnmower man" doesn't belong this list. King had his named removed because the film just used the name of the story and had a guy with a lawnmower. i like this film but legally is not a king film.

I much prefer the movie version of the dead zone than the tv series

The list was overall good, but some of this adaptations are just awful, like Cell and The Dark Tower. Instead of those, I would have put Creepshow and Dolores Claiborne.

I was about to go on a tear when you mentioned Lawnmower Man, considering King sued the studio to get his name off that one, but then you mentioned the actual story it adapted.

Jason Lee from Dreamcatcher used to be a pro skateboarder, I owned two of his decks back in the day.

30:28 you said Gage 5 times in the same sentence and still said Greg 😂 that’s how I know this channel is like ms mojo and content farms.

Thanks for teaching me about two King adaptations I'd never heard of: IN THE TALL GRASS and 1922. Will check both of those out. My personal fave King adaptations so far? SALEM'S LOT (1979 miniseries), IT (2017), MISERY, THE MIST and THE SHINING(1980).

Room 1408 is one of my favorites!

the shining had lot of differences from novel to movie that stephen king did not like it and another tv series was made true to the novel

This channel is just the gift that keeps on giving

He should've reference the version of IT from 1990 , definitely a classic

Frank Darabont did some of the very best ones

People under the stairs is a classic Must watch!

Beautifully executed and very detailed, i also learned about 3-4 movies that i absolutely love that were novels by the legendary Stephen King and I never knew were 👌

1922 was so dark.. I did enjoy the movie.

31:03 Dude The Mangler! YES!!! The Dream Team of horror movies. Written by Stephen King, Directed by Tobe Hooper, starring Freddy Kruger & Buffalo Bill 🔥👌🏻

Stand by me is definitely one of my favorite adaptations of kings work 💝 Right next to doctor sleep mike did a wonderful job

You forgot to acknowledge Michael Clarke Duncan's fantastic Acting in The Green Mile. It basically jump-started his career and shot him into near instant Superstardom. All the way up till his sad untimely Death. Sure he wasn't always the best actor, though I would argue he was at the least Consistently above average, with the exception of maybe a couple films that I can kind of remember... Though I also do remember that in those cases it was definitely more about poor writing and production and not really about Duncan not doing a good or even great job. Plus, it has to be acknowledged that for a man of Duncan's size and stature to manage to avoid being typecast as "The Large Brut", " The Giant whom the Hero must face", "The Feared Gangsta Thug" or only being cast in Horror Films for his massive size and then covered in FX Makes up or a mask, it is absolutely a statement of his acting ability and range. He had a difficult role in Green Mile as he had to show vulnerability , yet more than simply Fear or Impotent Rage or Frustration due to the fact that it was Clearly racism and bias due to his massive size that intimidated the Racist Hicks in the community he lived in. Which was definitely part of the emotional stew he had to cook up. It was the fact that he was also playing someone who was feeble minded and had an obvious arrested development as a result of it, and the unbelievable amount of Abuse he suffered growing up. As his own family and community must have feared him as well. Probably not for his size, but his ability. It's likely that their religious beliefs led them to believe he had demonic powers. So he had The Emotion was coming not from frustration or fear in the way an average adult might be dealing with. It was coming from someone who had a child like perspective of things due to the retardation of his mental faculties and arrested development likely caused by childhood trauma. And he had to do it Tastefully to boot!! That is a difficult role for the most experienced of Actors!

Long live Stehen King for all these amazing movies that were inspired by his incredible work.

One of my best friends and my band's drummer is half gypsy and trust me, they are as bad as they've been made out to be.

I don't know why you would praise Tom hanks acting in the green mile when Michael Clark Duncan's portrayal of John Coffey is clearly the more poignant of the two

Ah, that good'ol prank that envolves the brutal killing of several animals so you can dump the blood on a unsuspected school teen. That's classic Billy.

this is easily one of the best channels, well done on showing an old hipster some stuff i missed, no mean feat!

Dude thanks for reminding me of dolans Cadillac. I loved that short story.

Stephen King did not write the Cyber God it was written by Leonard and Gimel Everett, King did however write a short story called the Lawn mower man, but this story had nothing to do with the film, the change of title was a deliberate cash grab. When it was released King disavowed himself from it and tried unsuccessfully to have the name of the film changed to avoid confusion with his story. Sleepwalkers is an original screen play by King, not an adaptation.

the dark tower with so many books made in to one film was so disappointing. It would be like Peter Jackson making LOTR from 3 films in to one. You also forgot to tell of all the problems in the making of this film

Dick Halleran is the head Chief? Pretty sure you ment chef...

Great job every Steve King movie I could think of on the list and some I did not know.

Lawnmower Man doesn't belong on this list. Named after one story and "based" on another. No excuse for it. So fundamentally changed from the original story that King sued to have his name removed. It's a direct reason why there aren't more King adaptations out there. It's not a King adaptation.

Brad Dourif never has gotten the accolades he deserves. He's awesome!

Nicely done. Thank you very much.

Dick Halloran is the head CHEF (pronounced SHEFF), NOT the head CHIEF, at the Overlook Hotel

(The Dark Half) Sheriff Alan Pangborn is also in Needful Things :D and Gerald's Game was one of the books that actually had me anxious

Man, that was a trip down memory lane 🥰 and seeing all those famous actors very much younger 😂

The mangler it brings back memory. 😁

You left out the following movies: The Langoliers The Stand The Tommyknockers

Who's been in the most king movies? David Morse? Thomas Jane? King himself of course but besides him?

Yeah that wad awesome. Awesome song to pick for that lol. We've only just begun. That's so true lol.

Especially the death of Brad Duriff in the Graveyard, i remember that scene still to this day. 🤔

The host of this might be the only person on record who had anything nice to say about the Dark Tower movie adaptation.

Rather disappointed in this list honestly. Your missing a few, IT Chapter 1 and 2 being a big one. I think Creepshow should also be on here, and you have to include the plethora of TV miniseries that he's spawned as well. Under the Dome, The Mist, The Stand, The Shining TV Adaptation ( I don't like it but King did), Rose Red, Langoliers, and Hearts in Atlantis.

How many firestarter movies have there been? 2 right? Was there also a show? I think they're remaking it??

Would be kinda nice if the narrator did a little reserving about the ones he obviously hasn't seen, got the character names and some of the plots correct. Other than that, this was pretty entertaining.

I love King movies no matter what rate its made

recently found your channel and I think I'm hooked since I am the one who fancy horror

I've been a fan of Stephen King since 2006/2007. I'm reading Lisey's Story right now, so far it's... Ok.

That movie that john carpenter directed was badass

I used to know someone that looks exactly like that face on the front of the truck on maximum overdrive except for his skin wasn't green. and when I was a kid I had the vinyl record AC/DC made for this movie who Made who

Pennywise with Tim Curry is Best

King...you are a well filmed man. Now if they would only put more of Dean R. Koontz masterpieces to film I could die a happy man, as I find his stories as good and often better than Kings are. (and no scratch your head W.T.F. endings that made me quit King quite a while ago.

A WAW GOOD VİDEO

Me and my brothers used to go to sleep to Shawshank redemption. We even gained a best friend quoting the fresh fish chant at some new kids.

Seen ALL of these, and own most of them physically. Some are better than others but ALL are amazing to me. Just a scene from Maximum Overdrive makes me smile, as can a scene from most of the others. There really is just nothing that can match the atmosphere and imagination of a SK movie in the end.

Doctor Sleep is a sequal to Stephen King's mini series The Shining (1997) not the movie. I mean you could argue it's the movies sequal too but the mini series explained much more and gave you a back story to Doctor Sleep vs the movie left out too much.

The scariest monster in The Mist? Mrs. Carmody. Oof.

Never new stephen king wrote so many diffrent sorts of films which i have watched over the years 👍

Stephen King made alot of cult classics because "THE RUNNING MAN" has to be one of mine all time fave movies to watch.

King is a genius, there is no doubting that. I will poke fun that John Cusack is basically immortal and in every film. Well, him and Sam Neill :) And frankly, even the lesser adaptations, give me a bowl of popcorn and I'll be happy.

The mist movie ......giant creature at the end terrified me

12:48 I went to see secret window when it came out with I was 13 and I was with two of my cousins, I didn't know exactly what the movie was about but I was such a huge Johnny Depp fan because of his performance and pirates of the Caribbean and so I gave it a watch from beginning to end it was intense and I didn't know that it was a Stephen King adaptation I only just recently found out that fact you hardly see it on TV anymore which is a shame it's such a good psychological further and there's a lot more credit.

Running man (and lawnmower man) shouldn't be on here. Running Man has the same name as the King story but that's about it. Lawnmower man has even LESS to do with the source material, heck, King had his name removed he hated it so much.

Wasn't that Phoebe Coates in "Night Flyer"?

Dark Tower should have been a multi season streaming series.. not a 2hr movie. It doesn't do it any justice. Plus McConaughey kinda Trucked it...

You missed 2006s Desperation starring Ron Perlman Steve Weber and Tom Skerrit.

Lawnmower man isn't supposed to be on this list. It is nothing, nothing at all like the short story. It was just someone making money off his name. The real story is nothing about computers it's about a fat guy getting naked and eating the lawn. Dark Tower is a joke you can't cram 7 extremely long books into a 2 hour movie. You could replaced those with Mercy (2014) is based on his short story Gramma. It's loosely based but at least it's closer than Lawnmower Man. Needful Things, Delores Claiborne would of fit better. Do a list of his other adaptions, there's lots of good work out there. Rose Red, Salem's Lot, Storm of the Century, Creepshow..... Tales from the Darkside (both the movie and the TV show), Kingdom Hospital etc....

How does the narrator get the name (Gauge) correct in one sentence, and completely wrong in the next (Greg)? Great line-up of 'King' books and movies! Some, of which, I had no idea were made into movies. 👍✌

The Night Flier remains amazing for it’s finale.

Not sure , but I believe the running man was written under his Sutter name Richard Bachman.

the lead of the dark tower made it a hard watch lol.

I love his books n movies!!!

Stand by Me is my favorite movie he isn't just all horror

Salem's Lot the Tommyknockers Dolores Claiborne insomnia this guy Miss so many of them

You should have put on the TV movie Shining ('97) it's so much better. It's closer too the book and a cast that actually matches the character.

Creepshow is Stephen King's first screenplay.

35 Adaptations and Sleepwalkers

What about Desperation!??

There's only one or two of King's movies that I "don't care for"... "Big Driver", "Cell", and "The Dark Tower" are a few that I don't particularly enjoy. But I gotta admit,, MOST of them are pretty darn good!! Especially the CLASSICS like "Maximum Overdrive" (who King himself directed while coked outta his mind)!! It sucked at the time to some people. But it's SO beloved by the fans of my generation as a "cult classic"!!

Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption was not a nóvel ! It was a short story.

Cybergod wasn't by king and the film Lawnmower Man has nothing to do with Stephen Kings Lawnmower man in fact king sued the makers of the film

The mist is probably true stuff too. I can see once you leave our world its just darkness and creatures out there. I wouldn't be surprised. Lots of stories ANF movies has this idea in them. Definitely right off hp lovecraft stories has this in them and movies like Hellboy or like prince of darkness or clover field movies. Either creatures from a space in between worlds or from another world like in clover field. The creatures from the mist is similar to the clover field monster lol.

Bro the editing in this. Dude re-reads like 3+ lines, Dolans Cadillac and Firestarter were the most blatant examples. So much of this list is clearly taken from wikipedia pages, probably written by youtube script writers who haven't seen the movies or read the books, which is fine. But, all the comments that are like "oh my god wow what a deeply detailed interesting list" are kinda off base. Guess it might be if you haven't seen most/all of these movies but here and there, there are definite mistakes and a few extremely vague entries or sections/reviews that are almost word for word jacked from other reviews. I still watched the whole thing, don't get me wrong, it was fine, but c'mon y'all don't jack this video off for just doing a basic recap of all of King's adaptions

What about "Pet Sematary?" (Original)

7 minute ad that i cant skip if im watching it on the tv from my phone that sucks

how can you list max overdrive and forget: . Needful Things, Tommyknockers, Golden Years, the Langoliers and, especially the Stand. Man I never realized just how big this list is... I guess in hindsight your memory of those items I mentioned is forgiven, mainly because I am slowly recalling quite a few more still.

Thinner was great!

What bothers me about many King adaptations is the huge difference between book and movie. For example Running Man shares only a few superficial things with the book, like names, that is in fact a game show and the title. The Dark Tower tried (and failed imo) to compress 7 books into one movie, which is impossible. I really wanted to like that movie, since I love the DT opus, but...well. Also, some of these movies are definitely not worth a watch, despite being praised in this video. The original It should be in the list (Tim Curry as Pennywise is priceless) as well as Needful Things. And although not movies but mini series, I'd add Rose Red, Storm of the Century and Kingdom Hospital.

Christine ❤
