It seemed like a great opportunity for writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) and his family: a care-taking gig at an isolated mountain hotel. But the place is wicked haunted, and soon the little family, including wife (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd), are in grave peril of losing their minds — and lives. Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s novel drops some of King’s supernatural elements in favor of omnipresent dread and a meditation about the collapsing family unit, but it’s still a freaky, hair-raising ride. Midnight, Sat., Oct. 19 (Manor) and 7:30 p.m. Wed., Oct. 23 (AMC Loews) (AH)

No jailhouse can hold this feisty smart-ass, though — and Newman plans to bust out, in Stuart Rosenberg’s 1967 paean to homegrown anti-authoritativeness.
