The Shining is truly Kubrick's best; the ending is superb and the hotel is a character in itself. Shelley's notoriously difficult relationship with Kubrick really contributed to her performance. I found out so much when I reviewed this myself.

Rob Ager and his channel Collative Learning is the one to watch if you wanna know more about the film.

The Thing is probably my favorite horror movie of all time, The Shining being No 2, even though sometimes I feel like switching their position. The Shining easily has one of the best opening credits with that terrifying odd soundtrack. The Exorcist opens with a Muslim Prayer, completely silent, but it works for setting the mood. I don't know if I could add the Exorcist on my top 10 list, besides Friedkin himself stated that its not a horror film, just a drama about the mystery of faith. I personally enjoyed the Sorcerer more, I like the idea of criminals taking a long journey to hell.

The Shining 3. The Wicker Man 4. Rosemary's Baby 5. America Werewolf in London

Even though The Shining is not the first film to use Steadicam (Bound for Glory was the first), it used the same operator and more importantly, the inventor Garrett Brown for most of the shoot. Kubrick pushed Garrett to improve the Steadicam rig and operating so that it could be more 'production savvy'. However the originator of the 'low-mode' shot that follows Danny around the corridors of the hotel, was a shot that Garrett came up with years before in his original Steadicam reel that he touted to studios. In it, he follows his son on his tricycle around the exterior deck of the house to prove how low the camera could be to the floor. Another shot in the 'Steadicam reel' was a one take shot of Garrett filming is wife running up the steps of the Philadelphia library. This was later used in the film Rocky!!

I saw it at a different retrospective screening here in Toronto. And what really stood out to me was how unnatural the film feels. From frame one you just get this an easy sense of everything from its cinematography, music, performances. There are even long stretches that don't even feel like they're from the same movie. It understands that there's more than one way to get them in the audience skin rather than just throwing blood and guts at them

King dislikes the movie because the Jack Torrance character was more or less a stand in for himself. He was a drunk either at the time or right before he wrote it (which he's been very open about) and I think he felt a real connection to the character and novel because of it. Wendy Torrance was also a smart, capable woman in the novel as opposed to poor Shelley Duvall's genuinely terrified portrayal. Also, in the novel, Jack was more or less possessed by the Hotel and had a moment of clarity at the end that saved his family as opposed to the film where he's batshit crazy from the word go and ends up dying in a vain attempt to murder his son. THAT"S why Stephen King dislikes the film. The movie itself is brilliant but outside of character names and the setting, it has little to do with the novel.

'The Shining' holds up because the monsters were jettisoned--Kubrick and Diane Johnson instead focused on an average guy who feels worthless and has a huge chip on his shoulder because he never succeeded at anything, and the hotel isolation brings out his instability and rage. And you really feel the terror in the 'All Work And No Play' scene; Jack Nicholson practically busts through the screen as he rants and snarls "I'm just gonna BASH your BRAINS in!"

The fact that 237 intermingled that conspiracy stuff with more sensible, thematic interpretations without showing any hint of understanding which was which really made that documentary quite laughable.
