You should consider watching "Room 237". It's a good documentary explaining The Shining. Not merely because it explains The Shining, but because it's a good documentary. It has 93% fresh at Rottentomatoes.com.
It also helps set your thoughts to find symbolism in film, which is very cool.
There's things in The Shining you never knew you saw (I'd bet).
It doesn't make The Shining a better film, it just explains it, and also cranks you up to notice things in film.
I do believe some of the things are just the doc maker's opinion, but I found the doc more interesting than the film.
Here's a clip of it, explaining the bigwheel ride. I did not notice these things in the film.
Just finished Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. I liked it even better than the first one.

Futureworld (1976) You hear a lot about what a classic Westworld was, but not a lot about Futureworld. Now I remember why. What a terrible movie. Now I want to see Beyond Westworld, the 1980 TV series, but the reviews are not good. Cancelled after 5 episodes. I watched Sexworld back in the day, no need to see that again.
Said by many to be the worst Canadien film ever made. I offer no evidence to the contrary, but it's the kind of crap that entertains me fully. It really is poop but it's laugh out loud funny and bad at the same time. Naturally, it's the movies earnestness that makes it so watchable. I applaud the sincere effort made by cast and crew. It may be hilariously bad but they tried so hard. Hats off to the movie makers for the effort, no matter the quality.
