Subject: Favorite Kubrick film

Written By: snozberries on 12/03/08 at 2:44 am

There are three films I've never heard of so I included them as other.  They are very early films for him

# Day of the Fight (1951)
# The Seafarers (1953)
# Fear and Desire (1953)

If you've seen them let me know how they were.



There are 4 films of his I really like....

The Killing
Paths of Glory
Lolita
Full Metal Jacket.

But the question is what is your favorite  Kubrick film...so you can only pick one  ;)

I pick Full Metal Jacket  8)

Gotta say I am not a big Kubrick fan.  I don't much like any of those films

Subject: Re: Favorite Kubrick film

I am a Kubrick fan, and I even have a friend whose father worked on The Shining.

I still not have seen the three early film/documentries, but believe are available on DVD.

I fear the worse for Eyes Wide Shut, that has been regarded as one of his not the best. All his others I like especially Full Metal Jacket and Barry Lyndon.

I went with 'A Clockwork Orange' but it really depends on what mood I'm in. They're all so good. I still haven't seen Eyes Wide Shut I'm ashamed to say.

Thanks for the three titles too. I need to look them up. I've never heard of them.

I love them all, so I had to think about which is my favorite.  I was split between "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange," but "Dr. Strangelove" beats them both by a nose!

I still haven't see Spartacus or Eyes Wide Shut


I am indifferent on Barry Lydon. I can appreciate the artistry but I don't care if I ever see it again.


I thought Lolita was brilliant.  It was witty both in the writing and in the way he structured the shots.  The double entendre in that film is hilarious.... and brilliant.


Paths of Glory is one of the best war movies I've ever seen


The Killing was a great heist film I love heist films


Full Metal Jacket is one of the most quotable films ever made!  ;D  
"Did your parents have any kids that lived?"
"Sir! Yes! Sir!"
"Your're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece! What's your name fatbody?"
"Leonard Lawrence, sir!"
"Lawrence what? Of Arabia? That name sounds like royalty; you royalty numbnuts?"


;D ;D ;D   and all that was typed free hand without looking it up... I can recite 90+% of the lines from the Boot camp section.


There are two distinct sections of the film Boot Camp and "Vietnam"  I say "Vietnam" Because the film was shot in Englandand as great as the film was.... flying in 20 palm trees does not transform the UK into Vietnam.  I actually consider them two films. Sometimes I will only watch the boot camp portion.  I've probably watched the boot camp part about 40 times and the film as a whole (with vietnam section) only 10 times.

From wiki...

Kubrick had a plastic replica jungle flown in from California but once he looked at it was reported to have said, "I don't like it. Get rid of it." The open country is Cliffe marshes, also on the Thames, with 200 imported Spanish palm trees and 100,000 plastic tropical plants from Hong Kong.

I liked Lolita the best. It was just a strange movie that it really just stood out for me. With the Shining as a close second. Made me scared of hotels as a kid. And it was bad because I was in a lot because of beauty pageants. I always expected someone to bash in the door wih an axe in the middle of the night and hack me to bits!  :o

   Spartacus, hands down...
Spartacus is not a true Kubrick film for he was hired to direct the film when Kirk Douglas sack the original director Anthony Mann after one week of shooting. Kubrickk had to use the original storyboard set up by Mann. As an epic of a film the film is still spectacular.

I'm surprised 2001 doesn't have more support 'round these parts. This film still looks great forty years on! Admittedly, the storyline has an experimental vibe at times, but that's never bothered me.

I haven't had the opportunity to give most of Kubrick's other films the time they deserve, so I'll reserve judgement for now.  :)

I didn't vote for it, but still like it. Its one of those films that grows on you with each viewing. Yes its long, but part of the fun in watching it was imagining the environment and surroundings it was released in back in 1968.

Keep in mind that most of the studio execs had no idea what the movie was going to be about and understood nothing of it (as most of the public had the same reaction) when they did see it. It was over the heads of most movie goers at the time and still is to a large degree.

I didn't like it either the first time I saw it, didn't know what the hell was going on. I bet most who have seen it can't even describe (without going to IMDb or Wikipedia) the plot or give a synopsis of the movie. :-X

Full Metal Jacket is an excellent film and my favorite Kubrick work. I've always been a fan of Vietnam war movies and then I like sci-fi so I chose 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) for my 2nd favorite, even though I still don't know wtf is going on  ;D  Aren't there books that explain and interpret what it's about.

Y'know I voted for Full Metal Jacket, and whenever its on (even though I own it) or see a clip on YouTube, I watch it...but.

Is it just me, or is the change from boot camp to Vietnam is so drastic, that, even though I love the whole film, I'll often stop and not watch after Pvt Plye does himself and Sgt. Hartman in.

Something about how the first part is so jarring, so in your face that makes the second part kinda anti-climatic (yes, even though it switches to a seriously violent and deadly war environment).

I will start in them soon, as I have been missing out on these too.

Over the years with maturity of age, I now prefer "Barry Lyndon" as my favourite Kubrick film.
Back in London, the cinemas are getting ready the the 40th anniversary of the release of "Barry Lyndon".
