What's your favorite Kubrick film?

Unfortunately I've only seen the one, so my vote is skewed...

There are so many great movies in that list. What a great legacy to leave behind!

I've only seen a few of these.

Last time I watched Dr. Strangelove I notice a highly recognizable voice coming from one of the crewmen in the airplane. A much younger James Earl Jones! Very cool.

I have seen parts of several of the movies listed but I have not seen any of them in full.

Requiescat in pacem. I've only seen a couple, but I liked Dr. Strangelove.

Strangelove is a classic. Jody, the exact same thing happened to me. Hey, that's Darth Vader or the Bell Atlantic guy or the CNN guy!

I haven't yet seen any of Kubricks films, I know him well by reputation and there are several of his films considered classics that I *really* want to see, just haven't got around to it.

It's a real loss that he died :(

I just can't choose! :) I've seen several of these, and really enjoyed every one of them.

Kubrick lived about 5 miles from where I lived ( St.Albans ). Also, Clockwork Orange was banned in the UK. Does anyone know why ???

Wicksy - interesting about Clockwork Orange being banned - I didn't know that. I just discovered recently that the book had been published minus the last original chapter for years - and I just got to read it. It makes the ending much less cynical, yet it was intended by the author to complete the book all along!

Wicksy: I just read an obituary article which said that the movie wasn't banned in the UK, but he got so much hate mail and so many death threats from people who had seen it that he pulled it from UK distribution and refused to allow it to be shown there.

drdt : why was there outrage over the film. What was so controversial about it ?

Wiksy - it's a very violent film with a lot of gang-like violence and rape and sexual violence in it.

I haven't seen enough of his to have a real favorite yet.

Dr. Strangelove.

Dr. Strangelove is my favorite, but A Clockwork Orange is his best. I'm waiting for Eyes Wide Shut, but not in anticipation of its being enough better than his others to warrant not voting for anything else.

Wicksy: I think romkey's statement really doesn't really convey what's so controversial about this movie. Yes, it's violent and graphic. So are a lot of other movies. But it's violent and graphic in an emotionally involving way, which makes it much more disturbing than, say, Robocop.

A Clockwork Orange is my favorite Novel(Anthony Burgess rocks!)...and my favorite film...I cried when I heard
Kubrick was dead.....I have regular sexual fantasies about Malcolm and his droogs...giving me the old in and out...

twistermine : You're sick

i love the part where the guy's head gets blown into the wall!

i think mandy says cute things.

jaff...no flirting now...unless you are very rich and cute and named Malcolm....and anonymous...you are absolutely
correct

Malcolm is dead too.

He is? When did that happen?

oops, he's not dead. my mistake. I guess I got him confused with Rodney McDowell, or perhaps the new Fantasy Island (canceled=dead).

Roddy McDowell

what if i'm poor, cute, and named Malcolm? :-]

woohoo!! i broke the code on those ugly smileyz!!!!!!!!

The Shining horrified me so much that no one can say 'red-rum' in my presence. Just writing it gives me the shiveries.

no..... you must be rich
