The Greatest (In my opinion)

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2004)

In my opinion, the greatest. I love other movies but I am addicted to this one. There is only one other that I feel this way about and that's Reservoir Dogs. I prefer The Shining though because I grew up watching it.
While other kids were watching Barney the Purple Dinosaur, I was sitting in my living room watching this brilliant Kubric Horror CLASSIC. Classic is a word I hardly ever use but when I do, I mean it. This movie was VERY underrated. It was never nominated for anything but a Razzy Award which is the award for worst movie of the year.
When I read about that I was shocked. I don't understand how such a great work could be put on the bottom with movies such as 'Gigli'.
Everything about this film is great. You're never bored because the characters keep you interested. Even in the silent parts you are on the edge of your seat.
When this movie was remade in 1997 I was embarrassed. They gave the lead to Steven Webber, I have no problem with him other than the fact that he destroyed my favorite movie.
If a movie is great- LEAVE IT ALONE!
Don't remake a movie because you THINK you can make it better.
Anyway, back to the ORIGINAL. This films camera shots and music flow so beautifully together. Stephen King and Stanley Kubric work so great together and this is the prime example.
If anyone asks me to recommend a movie, this is the first one to come out of my mouth.
It's one that never gets old...
I grew up watching it and I will most likely die watching it.
