The Shining
Again, we’ve got a Kubrick classic with The Shining, adapted from the Stephen King novel. Seeing Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) delve into insanity while working as a winter caretaker in an isolated hotel was chilling. Now, this thriller had tons of memorable moments, but we’re talking about the part where Jack axes the door to get to his wife and son. Just as Jack peered into the bathroom in the crack he made, Nicholson adjusted his line to, “Heeere’s Jonny!” Nicholson used this as a little tribute to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
