You're just too tough and hard to scare!

My abiding memory of The Shining is now this time where we watched it while really rather stoned and Tina rolled off the sofa laughing at the bug-eyed expression Shelley Duvall pulls when she's got the bat.

Well, that and

Bah. The Shining is a cinematic work of art, and a genuinely scary movie.

What do you consider a scary movie?

She had a great roll in Nashville too, playing a ditzy hippie chick.

Well, I'd agree with the first part of your proposition, but I'd say that it invoked " a strong sense of worry" when I first saw it rather than any kind of fear.

Sorry I didn't feel scared. If it's any consolation many of the films that have scared me have been pretty crap and I had no desire to see them again.

Edit: incidentally, this thread has prompted me to buy a copy of the Shining.
