Stephen King's first novel and every screen version of it: one 1976 classic, one sequel, two remakes and an eight hour series from 2026.
Start with the 1976 film. It is ninety eight minutes, it is the version everything else is reacting to, and the two performances at the centre of it are why the story is still being remade fifty years later. Then pick whichever modern version you are in the mood for: they do not need each other.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
Brian De Palma and Sissy Spacek. The canonical one. Watch it before any of the others, because every later version assumes you know how this ends and the 1999 sequel will not make sense otherwise.
Eight hours instead of ninety eight minutes, which is room for the parts of the book a film has to cut. All of it went out on one day, so there is nothing to wait for. The most substantial version and the one people are watching now.
The straight remake, and the shortest way to see how the same material plays with the prom scene rebuilt for a phone-camera era. Watch it after 1976 or the comparison is lost.
Last, and only if you want it. It is the one real sequel here and it needs the 1976 film underneath it. Widely held to be the weakest thing on this page.
Then what? The 2002 television film is for completists: Angela Bettis is good in it and the changed ending is a curiosity, but it was made to launch a series that never happened and it shows.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.
Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.
All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.

Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
Nothing is charged and nothing is cancelled, because SagaList does not take payments. What goes is your account, your email address and the progress synced to our side. What stays is everything ticked in the browser on this device.
