Best: The Shining
Most underrated: The Langoliers. Bronson Pinchot was fantastic in that movie.
So many other good ones. IT was my favorite book but I felt that the movie was lacking a bit. It was good, but could have been better. I'm not much into the production of the made for TV movies from the 80s, but that movie did have a solid cast.

IT is really hard to live up to in movie form. It would have to nail the magic of childhood/friendship feel of Stand by Me in a much darker setting, and there's so many nuances that are really hard to translate into film, like how it feels like children live in a separate world from adults where their problems go unseen, or how adults can sometimes walk through the world focused on their own troubles and overlook the chaos around them.
Those two things are really central to the story, and you can add lines of dialogue to attempt to convey that, but it just doesn't quite get it.
Yeah and I remember that book being released in sections. Really unique.
Best: Misery (based on the number of times I've watched it, at least)
Underrated: Dolores Claiborne
Yeah, I might have a thing for Kathy Bates.

I've only seen blips of the recent IT movie and thought although it has dated special effects, etc, the 80s version is far creepier.
Worst: The Shining. It’s laughably not scary and the acting is horrific.
Best: Green Mile
Underrated: Long Walk
