Default Stanley Kubrick

I just bought a collection of his movies so it's fitting (for me, and I mean, who else matters but me?) to discuss him now.

1980 The Shining


1987 Full Metal Jacket Nominated for Oscar: Best Adapted Screenplay
Nominated for Golden Globe: Best Supporting Actor
Nominated for 2 BAFTA Awards: Best Sound, Best Special Effect

1999 Eyes Wide Shut Nominated for Golden Globe: Best Original Score

The collection that I got has Eyes Wide Shut, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, 2001 and a movie about Kubrick narrated by Tom Cruise (I can't wait to learn more about Kubrick so I might watch that first). I haven't seen Eyes Wide Shut yet. I didn't like A Clockwork Orange when I saw it many moons ago, but maybe now since I have a better understanding of movies in general I might.

So Kubrick puts a lot into his craft, such as, keeping the music going after the credits with a black screen in 2001, or (apparently since I haven't read the book) making The Shining movie the opposite of the book in most cases.

Edit: While editing my post to make it neater I noticed The Shining didn't get nominated or win any awards (according to wikipedia)... wtf.

Funny, that's one of his movies I'm not a big fan of.

I've seen Full Metal Jacket (loved it), 2001 (OMGZ IT PWNZ), The Shining and parts of Spartacus I'm pretty sure...but I didn't even know that he directed Spartacus. To sum it up, I like Stanley Kubrick, not only his films but his persona. I like how he really never showed himself, he was very private. Some impostor was able to pose himself off as Kubrick for a long time because of that lol. They just made that a movie not too long ago I believe.
