The Shining is a great example of how musical score and cinematography can elevate a movie to the best-of-the-best.
I tend to agree with Stephen King that Jack Nicholson looked like a crazy loon from the beginning, making his decent into madness less dramatic.
But that can be forgiven by all the iconic scenes masterfully weaved into a horror classic.
