The original Shining form Stanley Kubrick was good, had flaws in it(some of the opening scenes were just filler and unneeded). Nontheless had memorable scenes and one of Jack Nicholoson's great performances, and one of the best acting psycho performances in horror. That is why movies like these do not need remakes(Psycho is another example). What made the first great was its originality, remakes just ruin the whole experience.
