Stephen King Movie Adapations

How about my fav king book Salems Lot. The original tv series by Tobe Hooper terrified me as a child. I had genuine nightmares of Danny Glick scrapping at my window! And Barlows face was vile.
There was a remake of it afew years ago, which was more faithful to the book, and it was pretty good, but didnt have the scare factor of the first series.
 
The Mist - Was very close to my own imagination of the story when I read it as a teenager.
The Running Man (as Richard Bachman) - Great 80s Arnie nonsense.
Salem's Lot (Original TV Miniseries) - Still the scariest, creepiest vampire movie ever.
Misery - For the ankle shot alone, shudder just thinking about it, made Kathy Bates once scary woman.
The Lawnmower Man - Breakthrough AI and CGI in movies, looked great.
 
Of all the ones I've seen:

My favourites:
The Shining
Misery
Desperation (It isn't brilliant, but I quite enjoyed it)
The Shawshank Redemption
Carrie
The Stand (not a movie, but I'll add it anyway)


Enjoyed:
It
Christine
The Mist
The Green Mile
Dreamcatcher

Ok:
Children of the Corn
1408

Watched the first half, enjoyed what I saw, but didn't get around to finishing:
Pet Sematary

Don't think I've seen any of the others, but there are quite a few I have been wanting to watch for a long time but have never got around to watching them.
