Stanley Kubrick

Yeah the shining is one of the best. I don't like a lot of movies as you probably all know but the shining is a good one. Way better than that crappy made for TV one that Steven king liked. Usually when a remake comes out it ruins the original but even though they made the crappy TV one it never made the Kubrick version look bad. :) great movie

how does it ruin the original? The original is still there, people can still watch it, and it hasn't changed any.

Put it this way...the old planet of the apes and the remake..I cant even say planet of the apes without thinking of the reamke.

I don't know the number, but once he asked over 100 takes of sherry duvall for a scene in the shining, just to make it right
he wanted to be perfect in everyway

anyone seen 2001: a space odessey
now, this movie looks boring, but if you know what's it about it's really cool

He wasn't insane...perhaps just a perfectionist.

Certainly, Kurbrick is a genuis and The Shining was a great movie, but it definitely was his best movie. Personally, i believe his best movie was 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971); there is just something about that movie that i love.

This is late but,

I agree, I was just making a statement based on a conversation I'd just had with one of my movie friends(for lack of a better phrase)about Clive Barker.
