I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Shining. I have seen this film over a dozen times and each time I am seeing something new. Ignoring the subject matter itself, there's so much depth in the imagery and Kubrick was such a madman about details that seem pointless on the surface. It's like he was summoning something.
>Hidden references to Native American genocide
>The overhead shot of the hotel at the start doesn't show the hedge maze at the end
>Implies the hedge maze isn't real
>References to the lunar landings
>the Gold Room was original shot as Silver, Kubrick changed it and redid the entire shot
>Silver to Gold, like Alchemy
>Shelly Duvall lost her mind later in life
>There's that shot with the animals and the guy in the tux
>Later on the film Eyes Wide Shut gives new meaning to this shot
>Turns out the hotel the movie was filmed in had some kind of annual party for rich snobs and dressing as animals was part of it
>none of this is in the book, totally a Kubrick thing
