The Shining:
A 1980 film by the late Stanley Kubrick. Adapted from a Stephen King novel. Ostensibly about a writer who serves as caretaker for a hotel in Colorado during the winter who goes insane and tries to kill his wife and son. Actually about the Holocaust, the genocide of the American Indians, and minotaurs. The film is best when watched backwards and forwards simultaneously. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_237]
