The first one was based on a Stephen king novel I think. I haven't seen either film though, I notice the max headroom actor is in part 2.

I always wanted to see the first movie, because it has a mentally handicapped guy who gets superhuman intelligence through using computers and that's awesome and funny as a plot. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That reminds me, someone who isn't me should start a Stephen king topic. Books and movies. I personally think he is an average writer but some great stuff (and terrible) has come from his work

I don't know if you were after my opinion, but I think that the Movie is actually better than the book. Usually with kings novels they go way over the top and lack all subtlety, with the case of the shining this is what makes the movie far better. In the book, OK spoiler alert.. The overlook hotel explodes in the end killing jack Torrence. There's no comparison, the ending of the film is classic. Also the type writer scene in the movie isn't in the book, and that's brilliant. Also the film Misery is a great adaptation of another Stephen king, again I think the film is better than the book its based on for the same reasons as the shining.

I don't know too much of the back story there, I know that allegedly he treated the main actress poorly. Golden raspberry? Her performance was perfect I thought. Even though kubric would be considered an Auteur, i think its important to remember that the films he directed are actually the work of many people, and to hate his films soley because he was a douche seems a bit of a disservice to all the other talented people who worked on the movies. But that's just my take. Personslly I like Klaus kinski movies (or at least ones that hes in) but by all accounts he was a lunatic.
