Darabont made King's The Woman in the Room into a short film in 1983 and proposed turning King's Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption, taken from the 1982 collection, Different Seasons, into a film. Stephen King had established a fund for aspiring screenwriters to adapt his literary works if he retained final green-light approval after reading the screenplays. How the film got to be made is an equally intriguing story. In 2015 the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, calling it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." It has held the number 1 ranking on IMDB's user-generated Top 250 list for more than a decade, and is the number 2 rated film of all-time on Ranker, just behind the iconic The Godfather. Thanks largely to this to ancillary viewing, the film became one of highest rated fan reviewed films of all-time.
