J. Falcon · 04-28-2007, 08:07 PM

A lot of people have told me so over the years. I'm watching it now for the first time. What do ya'll think?

CaptainHowdy · 04-28-2007, 08:08 PM

Naw, you have to see "2001: A Space Oddysey"...

donkevlar · 04-28-2007, 08:10 PM

I couldn't choose my favorite...

I'm a big Clockwork Orange fan.. The Shining too.

I've seen and it's not my favorite at all.

Strangelove is obviously on the high rankings.. but he was involved in a good few movies that have some merit - Space Odyssey, Lolita, Clockwork Orange, Paths of Glory, Shining, Napoleon - they all had "something" for their time

I love it! Given the year that movie was made it's completely SICK... Dr. StrangeLove is a good movie indeed.

My favorites are either full metal jacket or the shining

Clockwork Orange is his best.

dig420 · 04-28-2007, 08:44 PM

too many movies that are absolutely excellent each in their own unique way to pick one that's the 'best'...

nikooo · 04-28-2007, 08:45 PM

Clockwork Orange......very artistic movie...........

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 04-28-2007, 09:13 PM

Kubrick was controversial and innovative, and never made the same movie twice...

I love "Dr. Strangelove", because it confronted the nuclear threat of mutually assured destruction in a very different, approachable, way (the dramatic movie "Fail Safe" from that period was also quite good).

Kubrick's list of classic movies which I recommend (besides Dr. Strangelove) is long:

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

The Shining (1980)

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Lolita (1962)

Spartacus (1960)

Kubrick surely was one of the greatest movie makers of the 20th century.

True! Unusual to cover the width of subject material - and also historical content

Odyssey was one of my one minute claims to fame in life - but sadly as an monkey

Never seen the movie for years, but there is the "dawn of life" sequence at the start. Was at film school at the time and about 24 of us were "coached" for about a month in the characteristics of "critters" - how they walk, limb movements etc - we then spent about 10 days trying to look like the real thing on the actual shoot

It worked quite well - least the last time I saw it - may be "dated" a little by now.

The 70's cult spoof movie "The Groove Tube" did a funny parody of that scene...

Don't you start with the smokin and looking casual with a dry grin

Yes... think maybe saw that man - the Ken Shapiro movie?

PS Sounds "cringy" now but was *very serious* issue with the film unit then - amazing the detail/planning that went into that whole movie.

Cyrano · 04-29-2007, 12:36 AM

A Clockwork Orange is probably one of his best, Strangelove is incredibly amusing however.

Andiz · 04-29-2007, 01:23 AM

You guys should also read the book A Clockwork Orange.
