The Shining - the orginal Shining not the mini-series - definitely by far the best. This year my hubby and I had a chance to go to Estes Park, CO and visit the Stanley Hotel, (Overlook Hotel), where Stephen King got his inspiration for the movie. The mini-series was filmed entirely on location but the original movie was not. We took the historical/ghost tour. I don't think I would ever have the guts to spend the night there... .
