Three Favorite Stanley Kubrick Movies
 

Left out a couple of his earlier films, since no one has seen them and they aren't near his best anyway.

RANT:

ooooOOOoooh

Stanley Kubrick was born in New York, and was considered intelligent despite poor grades at school. Hoping that a change of scenery would produce better academic performance, Kubrick's father Jack (a physician) sent him in 1940 to Pasadena, California, to stay with his uncle Martin Perveler. Returning to the Bronx in 1941 for his last year of grammar school, there seemed to be little change in his attitude or his results.

Kubrick took charge of the project (Spartacus), imposing his ideas and standards on the film. Many crewmembers were upset by his style: cinematographer Russell Metty complained to producers that Kubrick was taking over his job. Kubrick's response was to tell him to sit there and do nothing. Metty complied, and ironically was awarded the Academy Award for his cinematography.

LOL Kubrick is the ****ing man.

ahahaha

Personal quotes
"I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book of pleasure until I was 19 years old."

:love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Oh my God, I love him so much.

Similar reports came from the set of 1980's The Shining one story had Kubrick asking elderly actor Scatman Crothers for 75 takes of slamming a car door.

lol

LOL

also, scatman crothers is a badass name.

I picked the only 3 I've seen. Didn't really like any of them, lol.

I voted. A few of those I haven't seen so...

Where's the love for "Dr. Strangelove?" Only seven votes?

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

I picked The Shing, 2001 and A Clockwork Orange.

Spartacus needs some votes

No it doesn't. I shouldn't have even included it. It's not a "real" Kubrick film.

OMG vote for Paths of Glory you pricks

actually dont so I can be unique

The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Dr. Strangelove

that was hard.

i said clockwork, jacket, and strangelove. i think.

Full Metal Jacket, nothing even omes close.
Sgt Hartman: " It looks like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mothers ass and ended up as a brown stain on the bedsheet."
lmao

1. Clockwork
2. Full Metal Jacket
3. The Shining

Was gonna re-post this topic, but I remembered I already did. :mad:

I must watch Barry Lyndon this week. Had it on DVD for a while now.

Off topic point - Crothers was the voice of Jazz on the original 80's Transformers. :y:

:y: :y: :y: :y: :y:

Dr. Strangelove
A Clockwork Orange
Full Metal Jacket

This is actually one of the hardest polls you guys have had because all the films you have listed I liked. I didn't know he did Spartacus though, good movie, though you can see the pro-socialist tendencies and feelings in his other movies as well.

Crothers was something like 70 when he did The Shining.
He was good in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest as well.

Eyes Wide Shut
A Clockwork Orange
Lolita

Three of his best films I think.

I've heard great things about some of those movies... and I've never seen any of them.

Barry Lyndon must have been shit.
