The Shining
Director: Stanley Kubrick

Maybe you will be surprised, why is the top of the "Stephen King Best Movie" not the horror classic "The Shining"? The answer given by a film critic is: The reason why Kubrick's grand ghost story was deducted is that the film's interpretation of the original work only stays on the surface of the raw materials. If it is a metaphor, it is to put a bottle of vermouth on a bottle of dry martini without pouring the wine in.
Of course, watching movies is a matter of opinion (in the "Stephen King Best Movies" list selected by Vulture, The Wrap and other families, "The Shining" is the top spot).However, in 2014, Stephen King directly stated that he did not like Kubrick's "The Shining".
