Shining is one of the fucking best flicks ever. Still works to 100 % after 30 years, that's what you call a classic.
I've read a lotta stuff about Kubrick and that guy was a freaking maniac who drove the whole team crazy. For example in this scene he refused to use copies of the sheets, he insisted that every single page had to be typed individually for authenticity, can you imagine that?

. Also he repeated perfect scenes 100s and 100s of times cause he never was satisfied (everyone else considered the scene as perfect), the whole project was short of being cancelled, and noone of the actors ever worked with him again.
