The Shining is a once in a lifetime film where every scene is needed, every shot has meaning and every room is like a character. It's the greatest portrayal of descent into madness ever put onto screen and the film remains as one of the greatest mysteries of all time with so many questions unanswered.
In my opinion, what elevated this film to an even higher level is Jack Nicholson's acting, which I believe to be the greatest performance in…
