It might be a point that @ShipOfGoldblum has made before but the Shining feels very much like a 70s film.

I said it of The Terminator; it’s even more true of The Shining though.

I would have to quite strongly disagree old friend. It is a timeless film and one which is actually dated only by the fact that no-one can make film like Kubrick, and sadly Stanley died too long ago.
If it does not make it to the semis I will be appalled.

There's no doubt that it is a classic, it looks great and Nicolson puts in a good turn. I still think that it feels like a 70s film. Hardly surprising, it was written and filmed in the 70s.

The Goonies is a bit of fun.
The Shining is a classic, y'all know it is a better film.
It is a shame that The Shining could have been better, the plot is a bit strange at the end... the caretaker comes all the way back from Florida, walks in the door and gets killed... there was no need for that whole massive bit of plot really. Assuming the wife could have found another vehicle in a shed.
Also, when Jack is locked in the freezer... then he isn't... I think they could have tied it up a bit neater.
E.g. the photo at the end indicating Jack has always been there... as a ghost... or something... or...?
There are some good conspiracy theories online about who is really the culprit, e.g. Danny himself is the evil one and everyone else is a pawn in his game.
