This is a list of all the movies, I commented on most of the ones I've seen. I would recommend them all. I plan on seeing them all eventually.
1408 (loved it)
Apt Pupil
Carrie
Cat's Eye
Children of the Corn
Christine (Great Classic)
Creepshow I
Creepshow II
Cujo
The Dark Half (Pretty good)
The Dead Zone
Desperation (Awesome book and movie)
The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer - Loved it, prequel to Rose Red(my favorite movie)
Dolores Claiborne
Dreamcatcher (Great movie, better book)
Firestarter
The Golden Years
Graveyard Shift
The Green Mile - Great Movie
Hearts in Atlantis
It (Most people have seen this movie, not the best Stephen King movie ever, but still a good one
Kingdom Hospital (Love this series, I own it on DVD. It is just awesome.)
The Langoliers (great movie)
The Mangler
Maximum Overdrive
Misery ( great creepy psycho movie)
Needful Things (I loved this movie, older movie but still good)

Salem's Lot
Secret Window - I am a Johnny Depp fan and a Stephen King fan so this one is just the best of both for me.)

Desperation
Dark Half
Pet Semetary
The Stand
Stand by me (based on the short story The Body)
Apt Pupil (based on a short story)
Misery
Tommyknockers
Cujo
Carrie
The Shining (the tv version with Steven Weber is closer to the book)
Riding the Bullet
dreamcatcher
Sometimes they come back
The Langoliers (another short story)
.... these are the ones I like.. there are alot of movies from his books..
there is also Rose Red which he did not write as a novel.. the book was written after the screen play..
you can watch It if you want..but I was not impressed.. (and I am a huge Tim Curry fan so I really should have liked it)

I went through and looked at what people had answered with. Everyone had seemed to forget one of the best Stephen King movies of all time, if not the best. A great movie overall to begin with.
The Shawshank Redemption
Also try and rent at your local library or blockbuster.
Nightmare and Dreamscapes
Storm of the Century
Desperation
There's also Rose Red, but it's not that good. It's scary but no story at all.
Hope this helped, let me know

I think that writers in the same genre as Stephen King have to be at least a little sick to come up with some of the things they write.
