Every Stephen King Movie Ranked Worst To Best

10. Christine (1983)

Christine 1983 Fire Scene

There's so much to like about Christine: It's a nostalgic ode to the fifties concerning a troubled teen who falls in love with a Plymouth Fury; a horror movie in which that same car gains sentience and starts killing people; and it was directed by horror great John Carpenter. 

Based on one of King's most iconic novels, Christine is many things, including a surprisingly powerful assessment of Reagan's America, a tragic coming-of-age tale about a boy desperate to become a man, and a slasher flick where the killer happens to be a car perfectly symbolic of the era it's set in. 

Stylish, silly, doom-laden and politically astute, our very own Ewan Paterson has spoken in-depth about how great Christine really is, and, well, what's not to love?
