In 1980 movie goers got to see The Shining, Stanley Kubrick’s gripping take on Stephen King’s novel of madness in an isolated hotel in the Colorado Rockies off-season.
Kubrick went his own way, ignoring Stephen King's screenplay and suggestions. Whether or not he made the right decision is still a point of contention, but The Shining is one of the most frightening films of the 1980's, mainly because it featured Jack Nicholson in the role he was born to play.
Read about the making of this film and how Jack Nicholson got himself into character here.
In readiness for the full fly-on-the-wall feature, heeeeeere’s Jack getting pumped for the big scene:
Pre-CGI special effects.
