It's a Friday the 13th and I need some escapism so I'm going to recommend the following double bill.
The Shining (1980) - One of my favourite movies of all time. Jack Nicholson develops a severe case of cabin fever while trapped in a haunted, empty hotel with his wife and psychic son. Stanley Kubrick's sterile treatment of the supernatural story results in a slow, creepy build to insanity. If you've only seen "The Simpsons" rendition, you will still enjoy it.
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005) - The last installment of director, Chan-wook Park's vengeance trilogy, which includes the excellent Oldboy, the movie follows the protagonist's single minded pursuit of revenge after she is falsely convicted and jailed for 13 years. Less brutal than Oldboy, the climax is twisted nonetheless.
