I wouldn't say that. There have been a handful of Stephen King novels/stories that have made great movies like Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Stand By Me, and the Shining.

The Shining? I hope you mean the mini-series, and not that p.o.s. movie that Kubrick came up with. That wasn't Stephen King. But as far as the rest of your list, you're right. The best adaptation of one of his stories was The Langoliers. That almost went word by word, and it still was a good show.
