PSYCHOcatholic Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Anybody in here into Stanley Kubrick movies? Im a big fan of Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket! Anybody else?
MindCrime Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Yes, he's my all time favorite Movie Maker Along with Full Metal Jacket & Clockwork Orange, I also like Dr Strangelove, The Shining, & Lolita.
MarcM Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 "Eyes Wide Shut", Kubrick's last movie. It was about a strange, secret society (some people believe The Illuminati)and how a doctor, Tom Cruise's character, gets involved with them. Kind of strange. I think Dr Starangelove is my favorite, though.
cindy17838 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Excellent, Full Metal Jacket is one of my all-time favorites. I also like A Clockwork Orange The Shining 2001 A Space Odyssey Dr. Strangelove Eyes Wide Shut was unusual and I wouldn't want to watch it again. Lolita also wasn't one of my favorites, but that has more to do with the story than Kubrick. I've finally decided that I don't enjoy most Russian writers and should stop even trying. I'd get 500 pages into one and then think, "This book really sucks". I finally stopped trying to like Hemmingway also, so it's not some anti-Russian thing.
MuzikTyme Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 What can be said about the most visionary director ever to say, "Cut" that hasn't already? My favorite movies by him: Spartacus A Clockwork Orange 2001 Space Odyssey The Shining Full Metal Jacket Eyes Wide Shut Favorite movie: The brilliant, A Clockwork Orange

Tenacious_Peaches Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I have never seen "Full Metal Jacket" all the way through. I get to "THE PART" (if you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it - if you have, you should know what I am talking about) and I get so freaked that I can't keep watching it. ::
MuzikTyme Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 To me, Full Metal Jacket is great up to that point, Peachy. Then, it's like a roller coaster ride which hasn't any good hills left. My suggestion would be to stop where you did, at the top of the biggest hill. It's my least favourite Kubrick film.
MelP Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 If you want to see a prime example of good film-making, with a tight storyline, good acting, camerawork, editing, direction, and not a wasted second from start to finish......then look no further than Kubrick's "THE KILLING".
