The SAW Power Rankings is our weekly ranking of a certain movie-related topic. Please feel free to comment on our rankings and provide a list of your own in the comments below.
Stephen King has written a lot of novels, novellas, short stories, anthologies, you name it. A lot has been adapted, but a lot also hasn’t. So this week’s Power Rankings is about shining a light on those stories that haven’t seen a film or TV adaptation. And yes, Sailor (and to a lesser extent Dhalgren) is breaking the rules. I’ll let him explain his reasoning in the comments.
