Even tho the second one stayed closer to the book, I like the first one because no one can replace Jacky-boy

True True. I think to make a good decision I would have to watch them both back to back and evaluate them.

i think its no comparison. the original shining is better than the remake.

Jack Nicholson's performance in Stanley Kubrick's theatrical rendition of "The Shining" MADE the movie....However....Stephen King's disappointment in Kubrick's interpretation, stemmed from the fact that Kubrick strayed too far from the original story and left out the entire "boiler" drama....King always adds extra elements to create additional tension to the main point of the story....ie:Cujo...The dog was bad enough, but King added the heat, suffocation, and the element of being trapped in the car, along with the fact that the boy was asthmatic, to add extra tension...King likes to say, "If this doesn't kill you, here's something else that will"...There is evidence of this in EVERY one of King's novels...Kubrick downplayed that aspect, King remade the movie in order to put it back in, and bring it closer to his book
