| CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE
The Shining is a brilliant cinematic masterpiece, the likes of which have never been seen before or since. Highly, highly recommended. Stephen King's book was many things, and no matter how you slice it there'd be a heck of a task adapting it to the screen. Kubrick's approach was to tell the story his way using a new approach to the genre that distances it from King's work as it carves its own signature. On of the big debates over this film is that Nicholson's portrayal of Jack Torrance doesn't descend into madness, instead showcases a man who is nutty from the first frame of film. I think a lot of that has to do with people's perception of Jack Nicholson the personality as opposed to the man who has a nice stack of shiny statuettes with his name on it. Long before he was the caricature known as The Joker, he was an actor that delivered amazing performance after amazing performance in the 70's and 80's.

Shining movie This movie is another example of how brilliant and remarkable Stanley Kubrick is. This movie truly has some of the most memorable scenes ever in cinema history. The blood gushing through the elevator door and the two girls standing in the hallway are a testament to the amazing visuals Stanley was able to portray on screen. Based on a Stephen King novel, The Shining is considered among one of the greatest horror films ever. A supernatural, yet suspenseful horror flick which sees Jack Nicholson play Jack Torrance who is hired to be the winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel. He starts to become insane due to isolation, not to mention the hotel being haunted. Jack Nicholson did an unbelievable job in this film and his performance is truly amazing. One of the most famous lines in film history was the classic “Here’s Johnny”, which is probably what the film is most remembered for. I think the greatest scene in the film is when Jacks wife goes through what he had been writing and sees pages and pages of “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.

| Epic
This is considered by many as being the first epic horror film. Jack Nicholson did an unbelivable job with his role in the movie. When he gave out that classic line, "Heres Johnny", it sent chills down the audience spine. Stanley Kubrick is known for his great visuals in the films he directs. I believe this was his greatest film. I always have been a fan of films which are based by Stephen Kings novels. The Shining is a very hypnotic film. Even though it can be confusing, you still can't stop watching it because you're eager to see what the outcome will be. This is a horror movie must. It's one of the top 5 greatest horror movies ever in my opinion.

| King & Kubrick = Movie Nirvana
THE SHINING has always been one of my favorite films. Stanley Kubrick was a genius. If you enjoy horror and the bizarre, this is a movie for you. Superbly acted by Jack Nicholson and Danny Lloyd. Shelly Duvall is a little over the top, but still excellent! I needed a new copy is why I bought it.
