i like it but it's nowhere near his best and it's totally overrated.

Anyone who thinks that a movie that isn't The Shining is Kubrick's best should probably go watch The Shining.

interesting. both 10/10 for me. not sure i could pick between them.

The Shining still manages to surprise me after over a hundred viewings. I agree that ACO is a 10/10 masterpiece, but it's a world that I'm very familiar with.

I saw 2001 in the theater a couple years ago. I have the film on DVD, and it's one of my favorites, so imagine my joy when my local theater had a two-year program going where they played classic films at matinee shows!

I saw so many classics during that time, including 2001, Enter the Dragon, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

I just wish they'd shown Cool Hand Luke...

Paths of Glory
Spartacus
Dr. Strangelove
