On the way to the remote Overlook Hotel, through miles and miles and mountainous country.![]() After telling little Danny about the Donner Party, Jack flashes those eyebrows. ![]() Danny: Don't worry mom, I know all about cannibalism, I saw it on TV. Jack: See! It's OK, he saw it on the television. -- Last edit: 2006-11-07 00:04:49 |

Ah yes! One of my favorite films. I know virtually every line by heart. Thanks for the pics. - good `ol Jack. When I was little I used to look like Danny - then again many kids did in the early 80's. |

That kid was brilliant, one of the best child performances ever. |

Another VW Beetle:![]() This crash is one of the factors that make Chef Dick Halloran (Scatman Crothers) take so long to reach the hotel. |

It doesn't look like Colorado but it's still a beautiful road. |

Seems to not have the 1974 rubber - not on the side, not along the middle |
