Yes! It is good to revisit old classics once in a while and you always know it is a movie worth watching when it leaves you with a different feeling everytime you view it.
Last night turned out to be a "The Shining" one (if I wanted to I could almost confirm it was the first movie I ever watched...when I was comfortably living in my mother's tum): despite the thrilling story, I have to admit it is artistically a major breakthrough.
