Stanley Kubrick’s psychological masterpiece, adapted from the Stephen King novel, caused a lot of raised eyebrows when it was released in 1980, but few films are now revered the way “The Shining” is. Over the last 40 years the film has become a recognized masterpiece of horror, went on quotes and memes, attracted a cult of loyal fans and doesn’t seem to go out of date.
