MindCrime Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindy17838 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share 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. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelP Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share 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".
