I have a version with a running time of 119 minutes
And I searched for The Shining any saw two different versions 144 minutes and 96 minutes https://www.blu-ray.com/search/?acti...archbutton.y=0 Now I'm confused, is there really one with a running time of 144? If so, is it really worth it being a Kubrick die-hard fan (obviously a stupid question I know...) |

I'm sorry dude, I would ask Jeff Kleist over in the Digital Bits insider thread, he's fairly knowledgeable about movies and he could possibly tell what's up. If you are in the U.K. or Europe, you can import the U.S. Version of the movie since WB titles are region free and you'll have the 144 minute version.

I was stunned by how good it looks in blu. Yep, it's a masterpiece of a movie, despite straying from King's story.

Here is a list of changes made in the extended version:
***SPOILERS*** ABC edited 4 minutes from the film for its 1983 network television premiere. Stanley Kubrick shot Jack's typewriter pages in different languages for release in different countries. Such localized versions were released internationally in theaters, on video and on TV. The DVD releases of 2001 and 2007, however, only feature the English version of the text. In all previous video versions of The Shining, (prior to the 2001 DVD re-release), each title card failed to change in synchronization with the music. Upon being released on DVD, each title card does in fact change in sync with the music, the way it was originally intended. Three days after the release of the film, Stanley Kubrick and Warner Bros. ordered all projectionists to cut about 10 minutes from the end of the film, and send the footage back to the studio. Starting after the closeup of frozen Jack, the camera goes to a pullback shot with part of a state trooper's car and the legs of troopers walking around in the foreground. We then cut to the hotel manager Stuart Ullman (Barry Nelson) walking down a hospital hallway to the nurse's station to inquire about Danny and Wendy. He's told they're both doing well and proceeds to Wendy's room. After some gentle conversation, he tells Wendy that searchers have been unable to locate any evidence of the apparitions she saw. Additionally, Jack's body cannot be located. We then cut to the camera silently roaming the halls of the Overlook Hotel for about a minute until it comes up to the wall with the photographs, where it [back to the ending as it is now known] fades in on the photo of Jack in the 1921 picture. The longer version of the film, running approximately 146 minutes, is often erroneously called the Director's Cut when in fact director Stanley Kubrick regarded the shorter cut of the film, running approx 115 minutes, as the superior cut. The longer version was released theatrically in the U.S., and the shorter version was released theatrically in the rest of the world. When the film was released on home video in the US, Kubrick endorsed the shorter version of the film as the 'official' version. Nevertheless, the longer version of the film is the one now more commonly available. The following is a list of all the scenes or parts of scenes not present in the shorter European version: The last line of dialogue spoken by Wendy (Shelley Duvall) in the kitchen scene; the subsequent dissolve; Bill Watson's (Barry Dennen) arrival at the interview with Jack (Jack Nicholson) and Stuart Ullman(Barry Nelson) (and all of his subsequent dialogue); Jack recounting his previous jobs; and Nelson explaining the reason for shutting the Overlook in winter were all removed from the European version. After Danny's (Danny Lloyd) vision in the bathroom, the entire Doctor scene is removed, where Danny discusses "Tony" and we discover Jack dislocated Danny's shoulder in a moment of drunken rage, and gave up alcohol afterwards. The omission of this scene made Anne Jackson's (who plays the Doctor) name in the opening credits a mystery. The scene where Jack, Wendy, Ullman and Watson first enter the Gold Room and are introduced to Dick Halloran (Scatman Crothers), the subsequent dissolve, and a line of dialogue between Halloran and Wendy were all removed. The scenes where Ullman shows Jack and Wendy around the Colorado Lounge, when they walk outside to the maze and when Dick Halloran shows Wendy and Danny around the kitchens have been shortened, but not removed completely. The first shot of Wendy wheeling the breakfast trolley. The second half of Wendy and Jack's breakfast conversation where Jack says he feels he's been to the Overlook before. A shot from behind Jack throwing the ball against the wall, the subsequent dissolve and the line "Loser has to keep America clean, how's that?". The scene where Wendy sees the news and weather report on television in the kitchen while preparing food. The title card "Thursday" and part of Wendy and Danny's snow-fight. A scene of Wendy and Danny watching television in the Colorado Lounge. Some lines of dialogue between Jack and Lloyd 9Joe Turkel during their first encounter. A line of dialogue spoken by Jack after the encounter with the old woman (Billie Gibson, referring to Danny's vision of the blood. The scene where Wendy goes over her plan to leave the Overlook whilst in the room and Danny becomes possessed by "Tony", sitting bolt upright in bed. Halloran's third attempt at trying to contact them via the telephone and County Office. The 8am title card. Halloran's question to the stewardess on the plane. A long shot from behind Jack at the typewriter. Halloran's plane touching down and his phoning Larry (Tony Burton) to arrange the rental of a Sno-cat (as with the doctor, the omission of this scene made Tony Burton's name in the opening credits a mystery). The scene where Danny watches Roadrunner and Wendy goes to find Jack, taking a baseball bat, just before she finds his manuscript. Wendy seeing skeletons in the hotel lobby. |

I got The Shining DVD in Hong Kong, can't buy that or Clockwork Orange in Taiwan. It is 120 mins, thought it was the European version. No idea or interest in a 96 min version. The only things that I noticed missing from the version I saw when I was younger were some of the title cards for the days and time and being showed the maze.
Here is what some others said about the differences https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...hining+cropped QQQQ! did you buy The Shining 120 min on Blu-ray? |

Did Warner actually release the European version in Europe? They are in the habit of just making one disc for the whole world, which has resulted in European customers finally getting the uncut American versions of films like The Matrix and Batman Returns (UK versions previously had a few small cuts). It would not surprise me at all if the UK release of The Shining was the longer one we received in America as well.
