The Shining (1980)

By now you know how Kubrick uses corridors and symmetry, and the Overlook Hotel turns both into dread. The gliding shots that trail young Danny through the empty hallways were made with the Steadicam, operated by its inventor Garrett Brown, who did all of the film's Steadicam work. The hotel's interiors were built on sound stages at EMI Studios in England rather than found on location, so every corridor sits exactly where Kubrick wanted it. A father's slide into madness is the hook, but on repeat viewings it is the building itself, and the patterns in its carpets and rooms, that keep giving.
