The Shining
 
Hey,
what did everyone think of The Shining? My friend and I have had an arguement. He thinks it's unrealistic I say it's a classic.

update!
I said it was a classic because: I thought Jack niclson(spelling?) did a great job, I really liked the music (when something scary happened), and it was a damn good movie!

Uh, one: it is hands down the greatest horror movie ever and two: tell your friend he's an idiot for me because you can't not like a horror movie because it's "unrealistic". Do you think it's more realistic that theres a guy who drowned in a lake and now kills people left and right and has the power to heal himself? How about a man escaped from an assylum that just can't die? Horror movies aren't realistic, buddy. That's why we like 'em.

I have a feeling your gonna get flamed, you should back out of this slowly with out making any sudden movements. They smell fear you know.... Also check out the movie sections of this forum..... :)

hmm, the shining..absolute greatness...however, not because of Nicolsons preformance..but the genius off Stanley Kubrick. Yes, i know, the man is a legend :)

Haha yah. Kind of came and went without any commotion.

BUT anyway, I actually think it was 50/50...Kubrick really pulled this together, but try to imagine it without Nicholson...I can't.
