One of the cool facts about Kubrick I've always admired as a testament to his perfectionism is his typical "shooting ratio": The ratio of how much film was shot vs the run time of the final product. For The Shining he exposed 1.3 million feet of film for a movie that runs for 142 minutes, a ratio of over 100:1. The baseball bat scene alone took 127 takes to get right[1].
