Probably the 80 version, the 97 one was wack....whenever someone mentions the shining, they usually are always referring to the 80 version

I hope you know hardcore "Shining" fans prefer the later version, since Stephen King (author of the book) hated Stanley Kubrick's take on the book...That's why a second one was made, because Stephen King hated the original so much, as it hadn't stayed true to the novel...I prefer the 1980 version, but I know a lot of hardcore fans prefer the '97 version, seeing that it was made how Stephen King intended it to be...PeACe
