As I've already said in a post I love Stanley Kubrick's films. Particullary "Shining" (the best horror ever filmed in according to critics), "2001: a space Odyssey" and others a little less known films like "Barry Lyndon", " A clockwork orange" and "Full Meral Jacket".

I'm really interested in changing opinions with people who have already seen them. For who has not seen them at all, I really suggest the titles I said. Kubrick is the best director in the world cinema.

I have seen "The Shining" and "2001" but both are distant in my memory. I haven't seen "Barry Lyndon".

"A Clockwork Orange" and "Full Metal Jacket" I own.

How about "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"? It is an interesting "black comedy". Sellers is brilliant.

"2001: a space Odyssey"; I saw this many years ago. Some of it was pretty advanced stuff at that time. If I remember right, it was Strauss's Blue Danube  that was  played in the background,  and  it fitted so nicely with the film. Both Kubrick and Arthur C Clark (who lives here in Sri Lanka) made a name with it.

I am not really fond of "Shining" although Jack Nicholson gives a great performance. I think there are some stupid parts.

 But Clockwork Orange is good, indeed :)

Before  "A clockwork orange" I have never matched classical music with violence!!! How can he do it??? Awesome!!

And I think "The Shinning" is one of his masterpieces.
