It's pretty rare to find a Stephen King story that hasn't been adapted to film or TV at this point. That's even more true now that two of King's defining works, The Dark Tower and It, have made their way to the big screen within weeks of each other. And while The Dark Tower wasn't quite the rousing fantasy epic fans were hoping, Stephen King's IT has already made a huge splash.
To celebrate these new releases, we've updated our ranking of the best movies based on Stephen King stories. Did IT make the cut? Check out our slideshow to find out.
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that The Dark Tower will be taking its place alongside the greats. Check out our Dark Tower review to find out why it "abandons the nuance and gravity of its source material and all too often lacks any trace of a beating heart." That doesn't seem to be slowing progress on the Dark Tower spinoff TV series, which recently gained a showrunner in The Walking Dead's Glen Mazzara.
Luckily, IT is faring far better, with the film already enjoying the highest box office debut for any horror film. A sequel is already in the works, and here's how the ending of the first film sets up IT: Chapter Two.
