with the exception of Paths Of Glory and Dr. Strangelove, Spartacus and maybe Lolita, i have issues with the rest of his films ... like serious issues ... no matter how good i think they are.

interestingly enough, those 4 films i mentioned... my favorites of his, i find no coinkidink that they are consecutive and were all released within 7 years of each other

San Diego Comic Con this year:

The face looks... weird.

Tarantino and Kubrick are/were the best at this game.

So Boobytrap, you don't like any of Kubrick's films?

BoobyTrap likes The Shining, Barry Lyndon and Full Metal Jacket to varying degrees.

Her recent tirades against Mr Kubrick stems almost solely from the fact that I made the mistake of watching the last half hour of 2001 with her in the room a couple months ago.

It should also be noted, though, that she doesn't particularly care for A Clockwork Orange or Eyes Wide Shut.

Kinda, but I want to watch it again before I start talking about it. Yeah, I have seen it a million times, but watching it again wouldn't hurt. Maybe tonight.

The film does depress me, however.

2001 seems to be that film that peeps either love or hate. I personally love it, but I can see why others wouldn't. I think that film shows just how much power Kubrick had that he could put out such a weird movie for a major studio and make it financially successful.

I tend to cite Dr. Strangelove as his best film, but I do enjoy pretty much everything that the man made.

Did I tell you that my school had as screening of A Clockwork Orange?

It was glorious. Next to Hitchcock, Kubrick is my favorite film director.
