Readable Markdown	## The Shining ??½ 1980 (R) Very loose adaptation of the [Stephen King](https://www.encyclopedia.com/people/literature-and-arts/american-literature-biographies/stephen-king) horror novel about a writer and his family, snowbound in a huge hotel, who experience various hauntings caused by either the hotel itself or the writer's dementia. Technically stunning, and pretty dang scary, but too long, pretentious and implausible. Nicholson is excellent as the failed writer gone off the deep end. 143m/C VHS, DVD, Bluray Disc, HD DVD .
