Although 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange rank among the greatest films of all time, there's no doubt that Kubrick's The Shining is a flawless work of art with psychedelic, subconscious imagery and masterful filmmaking. It is an effective horror film for providing suspense. The framing and direction are as flawless and brilliant as we've all come to expect from Stanley Kubrick.
