The Shining (1980)

"Darling, I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna bash your brains in."

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.
