Room 237 (2012)

Watched this right after watching The Shining. It's basically something I'd expect from some random guy with a YouTube channel and 5 followers.

Wacky as shit, but surprisingly entertaining. Some of the theories are really out there (the moon landings... really?), but there are enough insightful observations to pique any fan's interest. Will definitely make you want to watch The Shining again.

While all of the varying theories have interesting bits and parts that are seriously reaching, it is nice to hear how these people who have clearly put a lot of thought into a film have taken different things from that experience.

Room 237 (2012)

There is some bat-shit crazy cray cray in this movie. There's so much crazy though - that you have to start thinking that there's gotta be something to at least some of it. Intriguing, but it'll leave you with more questions than answers.
