15 Most Critically Adored Stephen King Adaptations

14. Carrie (1976)

Pennywise It
United Artists

Rating: 92%

Ignoring the bland remake and awful sequel, Brian DePalma's spellbinding horror remains a classic, even if Stephen King calls it dated but good.

The film picked up two Oscar nominations for the central acting pair of Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, and despite being remembered mostly for THAT prom scene, it is a film-making marvel for far more than one scene.
