I think there are no good movie adaptations of his horror stories, and that includes "The Shining" (which I find to be slow and self indulgent). His horror stories are so psychological that you can't possibly translate what a character is thinking/feeling to the big (or small) screen.

The great adaptations are his non-horror stories. The Shawshank Redemption is considered by many to be one of the best movies ever, plus Stand By Me and The Green Mile were both successful as well.
