I think this version is the best cause this one is really based in the book, Jack uses the croquet mallet and they put the lawn animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rebecca De Mornay and Steven Weber, are the real actors for Jack and Wendy Torrance.

Thank god this movie came out and actually told the story, the old version with good old Jack Nickolson was scary as hell, but lacked any real substance in terms of storytelling through a movie. I'm soooo glad they put the lawn animals in there! Still though, I can't see anybody replacing Jack Nickolson as Jack Torrence (too iconing), however he was replaced (in my opinion) as the Joker in the Dark Knight. :D
