My wife and I were talking about this yesterday.
The best adaptations are from his novelas or short stories. The Body (Stand by Me) and Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (Shawshank).
Green Mile is good too and was a short novel serial.
But The Shining, Carrie and Misery are also three of his shorter novels and are the better adaptations.
