Written and directed by Stanley Kubrick, the critically-acclaimed film is based upon Stephen King’s 1977 novel with the same name and stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance. The film tells the story of Nicholson’s character and his family living at and taking care of an isolated hotel in Colorado during the offseason.

While at the hotel, Torrance’s son, Danny, discovers that he and the hotel cook can see into its horrific past—that a previous caretaker went insane and killed both himself and his family. Snowbound in the hotel, Nicholson’s character gradually loses his own sanity throughout the film.

Other notable films that will become available on Showtime next month include the Academy Award-nominated “The Truman Show” starring Jim Carrey and Ed Harris, the 2002 James Bond movie “Die Another Day” starring Pierce Brosnan for the fourth and final time, the 1987 Mel Brooks parody of Star Wars “Spaceballs,” and the 2005 basketball movie “Coach Carter” starring Samuel L. Jackson.
