So excluding stuff like The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Green Mile (1999) and
Stand by Me (1986). Just strictly horror. I found it difficult to restrict it to just five but here is what makes my top five:
Storm of the Century (1999 Mini-Series)
Pet Sematary (1989)
The Dark Half (1993)
The Shining (1980)
It (1990 Mini-Series)
There were a lot that missed the cut for me, especially The Dead Zone (1983) but it can't be helped. What sbout you? What are your Top 5 Stephen King horror adaptations?

Firestarter
Children of the Corn
Cat's Eye
I liked the Storm of the Century until the point the mysterious man started to reveal why he was there, that felt really shitty and dumb. The Tommyknockers could have been great given the concept but terrible execution. The Shining would have worked if Jack didn't look crazy from the start, also not much happens in it. Cujo I found just plain stupid. I have seen Creepshow but forgotten everything. Rose Red and Diary of Ellen Rimbauer had nice atmosphere but the story was rather messy.
