We're watching The Shining

I LOVE this film.  This it the pinnacle in psychological horror.  There's only one death, but there's so much tension and fear and its just utterly brilliant.

Today the Girls and I sat down to watch it, and I was not disappointed.  I love editing and re-listening to their reactions as much as I enjoyed re-watching the film itself.  

While it's truly a classic, my worry is that younger audiences will never see this film unless they have a reason to seek it out.  In an age of indistinguishable special effects, mega budgets and blockbuster superhero action movies, classic films are less 'thrilling', less interesting, and just plain old.....but they are far better then people realise.

This film now has a special place in my heart....for a completely different reason.
