First off your missing "Barry Lyndon"
Kubrick is one of my favorite directors, especially with my favorite version of "Lolita"! It was difficult to choose between "Lolita" and "Dr. Strangelove"... Great writer, good director, a master of making the slow moving movie tolerable. (except for 2001, I have NEVER been able to stay awake through that entire movie; which she considered to be the real version because she didn't know that the british version has one extra chapter... also the absence of this chapter is one big reason why Anthony Burgess despises his own book so much... check out the prologue to the most recent release of the book, he banters on how much he wished this book would of been barried, with no help from Kubrick either!). But I went with Dr. Strangelove, Peter Sellers spends more time on camera in that movie; so that adds points!!! I love Peter Sellers (Pink Panther is da bomb diggity). I have this mans complete box set of DVD's which also includes some of his very early stuff back when he was first starting. Not all his early stuff though, but it does have every theatrical released movie. YEY! although I was pissed, I purchased it and didn't watch Lolita right off the bat, ive seen it many times. Well I finally watched it after a year of owning it and to my dismay the disk was faulty and well past the time that I could return it in. I was damn pissed! It gets 3/4 of the way into the movie and then craps out... grrrrrr.
Oh yeah, and "Clockwork Orange" has been bastardized in my opinion. I seriousily can never watch that movie again. See, this is how it goes for me. I was introduced to Kubrick by my mother at the young age of 9 with the movie "A Clockwork Orange", she had me write a report about it and everything. (She is a huge english buff, she made me read lots of books and wanted me to read this one, she then decided on the movie because it followed the American version of the book so well.) I then went on to enjoy more and more of his movies to then find Clockwork becoming this huge fad when I got to highschool many years later. Children would dress up as Alex and quote the most benign quotes from the movie. It started to make me sick, the way people watched and felt this movie for everything it WASN'T meant to be. They gave it this "ultra-violent" look, which the movie was supposed to be mocking. I grew tired of the fans and later couldn't bear to watch the film because it brought up memories of these irritating people. (Its kinda like how stoners totally ruined Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd for me... I grew up listening to them and when I reached highschool I again ran into the stoners who obsessed over them and led an extremely disgusting life. Now when I listen to em' I can only think of that awful drug crazed life I once had and get sick to my stomach... damn how drugs ruin so much entertainment for me. Don't get me on what Cocaine has ruined for me!)
