Wow. I recently discovered Stanley Kubrick for the first time. I've now seen the Shining, Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, and A Clockwork Orange. I love all of these films. Kubrick was an absolutely fantastic director.
In particular, though, I really like 2001: A Space Odyssey. I've been reading the book which the film was based on, and it's very good. But the movie's more enjoyable. I think the ideas Kubrick tries to communicate are insane: the scenes in which the two astronauts go outside of the ship to make some repairs are intense! We're given nothing but complete silence, interrupted by the sounds of the astronauts breathing packs. There is no sound in space. I'm just sort of rambling. Does anyone else like these films?
