Video Breakdown of The 10 Worst and the 10 Best Stephen King Movies
With the popularity of Stephen King exploding right now, Looper has released a video that breaks down what they feel are the 10 worst and 10 best films that have been adapted from his work.
I personally don't agree with the lists that they've put together. For example, they put Dreamcatcher and Needful Things on the list of worst movies, which is ridiculous because those are two of my favorites! On top of that, they don't even include Pet Cemetary on the Best list, but they have Dolores Claiborne. This list was made before Geralds Game was released, but I'd definitely but that on the best list as well.
I understand that these lists are a personal opinion, so watch the video breakdown below and let us know what you would change on the list!
Stephen King's books have been adapted to film or television over 100 times, making him the all-time "King" of adaptations from a living author's work. But while some adaptations of his works rank among the most beloved films of all time, others are hardly worth remembering at all. To help you parse out the good from the bad, here's a list of the 10 worst and 10 best Stephen King adaptations so far, not in any particular order, but starting with the ones that probably don't deserve your time…
Here are the lists of movies included in the video:
10 Worst Stephen King Movies: Cell, Graveyard Shift, Thinner, Maximum Overdrive, Needful Things, The Mangler, Riding the Bullet, Dreamcatcher, The Lawnmower Man, and The Night Flier.
