  This one never fails to impress me to the point of utter speechlessness. I will be revisiting this one many times. An eternal 10/10 for Kobayashi, the master.

  The Shining 1980

  ★★★★★ Added

  Completely untethered from reality in the most wicked and beautiful way.

  Totally unfazed at the mention of a horrific murder that took place a while back, Jack goes "that's not gonna happen with me" - *Chef's kiss*

  There's a difference between horror and "scary" films and THIS is a masterpiece of classic/modern horror. Thank you, Stanley Kubrick, for this genre-defining film - this wonderfully dark masterpiece. All my love to Shelly, Jack, Joe Turkel, and especially Scatman Crothers. This one is on my pedestal, as it's my favorite.

  P.S.: The way Scatman Crothers says Hello feels like a hug.
