The Shining

All work and no play makes Academy Award-winner Jack Nicholson (As Good As It Gets, Batman), the caretaker of an isolated resort, go way off the deep end, terrorizing his young son and wife Shelley Duvall (Roxanne). Master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's (Full Metal Jacket, 2001: A Space Odyssey) visually haunting chiller, based on the bestseller by master-of-suspense Stephen King (The Stand, Carrie, The Shawshank Redemption), is an undeniable contemporary classic. Newsweek Magazine calls this the first epic horror film, full of indelible images, and a signature role for Nicholson whose character was recently selected by AFI for its' 50 Greatest Villains.
