Though The Shining towards the top of people's lists feels kind of default judging against the rest of the list, I dare anyone who listed it as #1 to watch it again in a theatre or without any distractions (book/phone/Shining as background) and see how it holds up to you. The movie is a slog.

Watched it in the theater for the first time this past Halloween. It held my full attention the entire time and I appreciated it even more, great experience.

The soundtrack hit even harder too
