Barry Lyndon is one of my absolute favourites too, actually it was the movie that made me want to watch all of Kubrick's movies.<br />So you have a lot of good films coming up (just don't expect too much from his first experiments such as Fear and Desire and the shorts).Mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094234448852441633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-72995530981195485172013-01-16T15:38:01.580+01:002013-01-16T15:38:01.580+01:00He delivered three great performances, but persona...He delivered three great performances, but personally I found it confusing that all those guys looked the same ;).Mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094234448852441633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-79043250331201143082013-01-16T15:37:31.892+01:002013-01-16T15:37:31.892+01:00It is for me too - feels like I've grown with ...It is for me too - feels like I've grown with the challenge.Mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094234448852441633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-48244908719750018042013-01-16T15:36:57.850+01:002013-01-16T15:36:57.850+01:00Dr. Strangelove - There is a lot of hype about it,...Dr. Strangelove - There <i>is</i> a lot of hype about it, so it was one of the movies I was looking forward to the most.<br /><br />Full Metal Jacket - My favourite is the first half too, but there's I think the connection between the two halves works in the end.<br /><br />Do watch Eyes Wide Shut!Mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094234448852441633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-42406306387893604722013-01-15T00:47:17.236+01:002013-01-15T00:47:17.236+01:00Maybe that should be one of my goals for this year...Maybe that should be one of my goals for this year - finishing Kubrick's filmography! Sad to say I've only seen three - 2001, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining. I'd love to see Dr. Strangelove, and I really want to see Barry Lyndon, because it's my friends favourite. 2001 is my favourite, then The Shining!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175638828147935702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219108510988412397.post-86976916616632832852013-01-14T22:02:56.009+01:002013-01-14T22:02:56.009+01:00Just for counterpoint, I will say that Strangelove...Just for counterpoint, I will say that Strangelove is my favourite Kubrick film.

Perhaps too much hype led me to believe it would be a comedic masterpiece.<br /><br />I do like Full Metal Jacket, but it really is a film of two halves and the first half is just so incredible to me that the second doesn't quite compare.<br /><br />Haven't seen Eyes Wide Shut but I'm guessing I should!Liam Underwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266853392221837353noreply@blogger.com
