THE SHINING (1980) - July 8, 2009 (Fourth or Fifth Viewing)
Oh man, good stuff. A seriously awesome film about a man who takes his family to the remote hotel in which he's acting as the caretaker for the winter, who slowly goes crazy. Jack Nicholson is pretty much perfect as the husband and father who essentially goes completely insane, and Shelley Duvall gives what is probably her best performance as Nicholson's harried wife. And then there's Kubrick's direction, which is... do I even need to say it? Seriously. ****
