	tuttleAC picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): Frankly the new one is a piece of crap that was only done because Kubrick decided to make his own original interpretation of the work. posted over a year ago.

	cherry7878 picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): the old one was a hell of alot better posted over a year ago.

	Tweety97 picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): the old one fallowed the book more from my perspective...and it was much much cooler posted over a year ago.

	Cherry9090 picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): the old one all the way posted over a year ago.

	bendaimmortal picked The New One (Steven Weber): Even though I love Jack Nicholson as an actor, I think thet version is over-rated. And this is better also because the ending is true to the novel. The endings are the most important part of a story and should not be changed. posted over a year ago.

	Kinkystar picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): Haven't seen the new one but like most remakes, they're never as good as the original. And Jack Nicholson was epic! No one can do that again. I'll always remember: 'Here's Johnny!' with him. posted over a year ago.

	MarlenaLovett picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): He was completely brilliant as Jack Torrance. Really, I think he was amazing. posted over a year ago.

	blackpanther666 picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): I didn't know there was a new one either. Why did they even bother? posted over a year ago.

	Mrs_Bungle said: Neither. Definitely not the first one - Stephen King himself hated it! Don't get me wrong, I love Jack, and as a movie on it's own it was pretty good, but as a movie based on the book - not even close! I haven't seen the newer one, and I'm not in a huge hurry to either. Rarely are SK's books turned into decent movies. posted over a year ago.

	sarap28412 picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): Oh yeah!!! Jack is bad a!!! in The Shining!!! Love it-love everything by Stephen King!!! posted over a year ago.

	Makeupdiva picked The Old One (Jack Nicholson): I've only seen this one. Jack Nicholson was perfect as crazy Jack. posted over a year ago.
