The Shining

Doesn’t matter how many times I watch it, I’m always blown away by the opening. And even though Jack kinda does come off as a caricature of madness, that’s just because what he does here has become so insanely legendary. The only thing that bothers me to this day is how Jack gets out of the food storage. I know that the original book is completely upfront about the supernatural presence, but what I’ve always liked about Kubrick’s film is that except for that element, it can really go either way – spirits are really haunting the place, or it’s all Jack’s madness.
