wow - matchup from hell for me >.< yikes; hope vs. despair. Shining is so iconic and haunting for me, yet Matrix informed most of my life direction. I am resigned; I will lament this decision. My memory of Nicholson's spiraling performance wins today *sigh.

See flickchart? You've ruined a man's life and sanity by forcing him to pick against The Matrix! Gah, it's the sunglasses. It's always the sunglasses.

When in doubt, choose Kubrick.

Love 'em both, The Shining is better.

While I love both....The Matrix is higher on my flickchart...and it will probably stay that way...

Two surreal movies here. Matrix for me. It's just so thought-provokingly absorbing.

Yeah, probably the matrix

This choice is like picking my favorite children. The Shining by a close call.

Easy.

Gotta go with The Shining here

Matrix is extremely badass, even nearly 20 years later. But The Shining is just something to marvel at.

Must-watch movies for conspiracy theorists. Must-watch movies for film-lovers as well.

If I had to watch one of these movies for the rest of my life it would be the shining.
