New movie that seems to be (sort of) about Kubrick...looks interesting.

What's your fave movie of his?
I'd say The Shining or Full Metal Jacket.
I like 2001 but it feels a bit bloated, even for SK.

Clockwork Orange gets my vote.

Did you see Stephen King's version of The Shining? Gloriously pitiful. Do not question Kubrick.

I haven't seen A Clockwork Orange.
I know i should but I've heard it's very uncomfortable viewing & hasn't aged well compared to some of his other stuff.

I haven't seen the other version of The Shining either. That was uncomfortable viewing as well I guess - remarkable how Kubrick made such a huge hotel seem so claustrophobic.

Interesting point. That hadn't occurred to me.

stephen kings version of "the shining" was certainly more faithful to the book. comparing the 2 movies, its more a matter of personal preference.

Thanks for the topic; I hadn't seen anything about the movie until now. I'll go see it for sure and as for my favorite Kubrick movie; A Clockwork Orange. I've seen it many times and will probably see it many more. It's kind of like Naked Lunch, I've seen it quite a few times, yet each time I notice something different or maybe a scene that I didn't quite get begins to make sense.

Yes, I've head about this. I had started writing a screenplay on the same subject. Guess that goes in the trash now :'(

I'm confused. Isn't Stephen King the writer of 'The Shining' on which
the one movie is based? 😕

Stephen King wrote the book but apparently was very unhappy with the movie version made by Kubrick. About 3 or 4 years ago, another version was made which was much truer to the book. I think it was made for TV or went straight to dvd or something. It never made much impact and although I never saw it, I heard it was pretty poorly done.

Kubrick wrote the screenplay and directed the film "The Shining".
