I've loved Kubrick's version of The Shining ever since I was a kid, mostly for the atmosphere and the haunting score. Stephen King purists may pooh-pooh it for not sticking close enough to the original novel, but I think it's an awesome movie in its own right.

Another movie I enjoy is John Carpenter's The Thing. The creatue effects are amazing, and the story is great.
