I am not a big Kubrick fan... I am a big Stephen King fan. But I enjoyed The Shining (1980) more than the mini-series. I know it doesn't follow the book but it's just more effective. I know many other King fans that will agree (many will disagree as well). The book is great, but that doesn't make the mini series great too. See the 1980 version instead.
