I think it may be. What do you think?

The worst adaptation in my opinion is The Green Mile. That didn't seem to have any Steven King qualities from the book and I didn't care for it much
Any of King's qualities? Granted, it isn't horror but the adaptation was as close to the written story as you can get.

I'd agree with most other people.
Stand By Me
Shawshank Redemption
The Shining
The Green Mile
Dolores Claiborne
Carrie

Ooooh, nice picks! Made me realize I forgot a whole generation of Stephen King films.

Not even close. Kathy Bates is brilliant in it, but other then that I thought it was kinda meh. Shawshank is still one of the best movies ever made, King adaption or not.
Also,
Stand by Me
Green Mile
The Shining
and two very underrated ones
Apt Pupil
1408

In my opinion, "Carrie" was the most faithful adaption of a book. But I think that "Dolores" is my favorite. "Shawshank Redemption" would be a close second though.

Of the stories I've read, I consider it the best adaptation, yes.

The Shawshank Redemption, followed by The Shining.

I'd say "The Shining" and "Carrie" (in that order) are the best films, but this is the best adaptation.

There are some stinkers out there but there are many great adaptations. You and others may not agree with me but that's ok.
Dolores Claiborne is one of the best in my opinion. Here is my list of other works of King that have also been successfully done well when adapted to the screen
The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
Stand By Me (The Body)
Misery
Hearts In Atlantis
Apt Pupil
Secret Window
The Dead Zone
Carrie. the first one
I enjoy The Stand.. one of my favorite King books. The adaptation was fairly good. I could have done without Molly as Fran. That was a deal breaker!
As I said Just my opinion. I do not expect everyone to agree.
As for the others. I have the BOOKS!
I am still waiting for The Long Walk..
