Eyes Wide Shut
Full Metal Jacket
Barry Lyndon
Spartacus
Lolita
AI


I haven't seen Fear and Desire, Killer's Kiss, The Killing or Paths of Glory.
Do you place Clockwork Orange above 2001:A Space Odyssey!?!

2001 is the imaginative, artistic, fantastic master piece (which was pittyfully followed by the badly made follow-up).

I'd love to play chess with HAL.

I don't think that's very unusual, plenty of people here will rank those two as I did.

The Killing is a brilliant film. So good that Tarantino nicked half of it to make Reservoir Dogs.

Paths of Glory is also magnificent.

Strangelove is the best for me though.

I have not seen Eyes Wide Shut yet. It is rare that I will not watch a film because of a particular actor, but I have got to dislike Tom Cruise so much that I wouldn't want to spend my hard earned cash to watch any movies with him in.

Well, I must say that even disregarding Cruise's typically anodyne performance, and despite Kidman's usu7all yumminess, Eyes Wide Shut is, IMO, among the least interesting Kubricks I've seen.

Ok, thanks. That has reinforced my decision to give it a miss then. 🙂

See it for yourself. A bad Kubrick is better than a good [insert director].

I enjoyed it. It definitely had its great moments.

I don't see how a clockwork orange is better than Full metal jacket.

I've looked, I've absorbed, I've innerly-debated, but it's just a no-can-do...

Enlighten me.
