Several, but I'll go with The Shining as it's one of the few that isn't "HATEHATEHATE". While it's a terrible adaptation and about as faithful to the book as if it had been the My Little Pony Movie, I do think it manages to stand on its own merits - I love both.

Oh god, the miniseries was awful. D:

It's telling that some of his best movie adaptations are from short stories as such.

Comparing the eyegouging adaptation of the doorstop IT to, say, 1408 or Carrie (short story and novella respectively), this is very true.

Oh come on. Tim Curry is an amazingly hilarious eye-gouger!
