(1980) dir Stanley Kubrick w/Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scatman Crothers [142 min]
Hands-down one of the most chilling horror films ever made. Aspiring writer Jack Torrance (a creepier-than-creepy Jack Nicholson in one of his signature roles) brings his wife and young son to the Overlook Hotel for the winter, where he will act as caretaker and have some much needed peace and quiet to get his writing done. Unfortunately, the sinister hotel has other plans for Jack and his family.
