Praise was lavished on Kubrick for The Shining. Like so many of his other films, this fast became a cult classic. Business was always business, however. In response to a request by Frank Pierce on October 26, 1987, to sell the country rights to The Shining to Hungarofilm for $12,000 for five years Kubrick write NO! in gigantic letters by the side of this message and sent the following cable.
October, 1987
To Frank Pierce
Dear Frank, I think you know that I have always maintained that it is a very great mistake to virtually give away films to Socialist countries when at some point in the future they are likely to be viable commercial markets. Obviously I haven't changed my views about this. Stanley.

Stanley Kubrick's Boxes (2008)
"Two years after Kubrick's death, Jon Ronson was invited to the director's estate to explore the hundreds of boxes the legendary film director had collected during his decades at Childwick Manor in Hertfordshire. He's been returning ever since, and the story of Kubrick and the archive, now housed at University of the Arts London, is revealed in this fascinating documentary."
