Topic: a night with kubrick | |
---|---|
sometimes I cannot understand what I ever did without TCM. tonight they are playing a few films including a retrospective of the life of the late great Stanley Kubrick.
So tonight I've watched the retrospective, Dr. Strangelove & am now so sucked into Lolita, I am having a hard time keeping up with my IM conversations. :p so whats your favorite Kubrick film? |

its hard to pick a favorite. however, i did watch full metal jacket consecutively. i don't understand why people rate it as such a gruesome film. mentally it was disturbing but its nothing we haven't seen from other films. basically the dialogue and the cinematography won me over.

A Clockwork Orange
and Dr Strangelove(which I got to see on the big screen back in the early 90's) |
|
|
|
A bit of trivia: Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is not the first adaptation of Burgess' book. Andy Warhol did a film adaptation in 1965 titled- Vinyl.

He only made nine features, all of them A+! There is no such thing as "which ones the best". Buy the boxed set and enjoy genius for many years to come. Money well spent!!
