The Shining
Perhaps one of my most "well, duh" opinions is that The Shining is fucking awesome. The book, of course, but also Stanley Kubrick's slow-burn masterpiece, even if Stephen King hates it. The flick's spine-chilling setting, replete with lonely halls and snowy mazes, owes a hefty amount of its dramatic effect to the Pacific Northwest, tooβit features the iconic exterior of the Timberline Lodge. Also, if you need more convincing, the recently passed scream queen Shelley Duvall graces the screen, whether or not Nicholson and Kubrick really deserved her. All work and no play makes anyone a dull boy, so check into Room 237 (aka SIFF Cinema Downtown) for this fresh 4K restoration.
