I saw the movie version of the shining with Jack Nicholson because he is my favorite actor and i thought it was great,so i decided to read the book and when i did i realized that it was totally different from the Stanley Kubrick version.I then decided to see the mini-series with Steven Weber which was like 4 hours long but pretty worth watching. The mini-series was pretty much more like the book and gave you a better explanation of what "shining" means. So if you like Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick I recommend the movie version or if your a fan of the book and want to sit through 4 hours or I guess a fan of Stephen King or maybe Steven Weber I recommend the mini-series. But overall their both great to watch for any shining fan.
