THe Shining.
His best book; terrible book to make into a movie.
That's why Kubrick played with it; he had too.
The entire movie is a character study and an acting tour de force by Nicholson. He's the entire picture.
Put a bum in that chair writing All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and the movie is dull as frick. Kubrick gambled and put it on all on Jack's shoulders. If you had a bad actor, that movie is nothing.

Kubrick made that movie happen though.
The actors werent acting torwards the end, I'm not sure Shelley Duvall ever mentally recovered from that film.
It's in my top 5 of all time too.
