    I like The Shining, but it's just a little too long for me, and Usual Suspects is a great, great movie. One of the better twists in recent movies.

      Usual Suspects is a rare breed - a movie with a dramatic and surprising twist towards the end that retains complete rewatchability even though you know how it ends. The Shining is cool n' everything, but let's be honest here, it's not a great movie.

        The shining did nothing for me 20+ yrs ago and does nothing for me now.

          The Usual Suspects...as for 'The Shining', I HATED Kubrick's version. I actually preferred the TV miniseries several years back that had several items from the novel that were blatantly ignored in the Nicholson version.

            Love the Shining, but the Usual Suspects wins.

                Again, I'll have to echo Skerik's opinion.

                The Usual Suspects is chock full of great acting performances and it's story translates much better to the screen than The Shining.

                  I've seen The Usual Suspects twice and the second time through was kind of "meh" for me, but The Shining gets better with each viewing.

                    The Usual Suspects is one of my favorites.

                      Took The Usual Suspects, a solid 3 out of 4 star movie. I was bored by The Shining ("Here's Johnny", whoop de doo).
