8. The Shining (1980)
The Shining is a terrifying tale of a young family who spend the winter season alone in a hotel. The father turns to violence, the mother has to flee from her own axe-wielding husband and their son won’t quit with the horrific premonitions. The props department created over 60 doors for the infamous “Here’s Johnny!” scene where Jack’s character breaks through the bathroom door.
The main actors, Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, both said it was the hardest movie they have ever acted in – mentally and physically. Duvall herself suffered from hair loss and nervous exhaustion on set.
