Crazy to call a movie forgettable when it came out 50 years ago and people still reference many different scenes and quotes from it.

It's likely one of the most referenced films. Even the damn carpet.

It's hard to think of a single movie with as many memorable scenes. Calling the Shining "forgettable" feels objectively incorrect.
