The Shining is a work of genius.
Better than most of the shite released these days.
I have read the book
Kubrick is a genius. He did it how he wanted, and did it well.
I had never heard of never mind seen Barry Lyndon (a 1975 Stanley Kubrick film starring Ryan O'Neal) until 2 years ago but it is well worth watching,although I will grant it is a little on the long side.
Got the Kubrick box set with it, great film
(and yes it is a little long!)
