I'm pleased that at least someone else in here will give 'Paths Of Glory' some recognition....

Thanks. Incidentally, your response makes me very happy. I've been involved with boards for seven years, and have mentioned it many times, and you are the first person to know it. I hope some people will check it out on youtube since I believe that the whole thing is up there. The other parts of the loose Travis "trilogy" were good too -- particularly If..., well not Britannia Hospital so much. O Lucky Man is my favourite of those. It surprises me that so few know it. I always recommend it to the sort of people who love Clockwork Orange and Brazil (my kind of people). A couple of reviews: http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=106639 http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/review/4157/ Back to Kubrick: Of course Doctor Strangelove is terrific too, and The Shining is my favourite horror movie. |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

"Clockwork Orange" is brilliant and for long time was my favourite film (Anthony Burgess didn't like treatment, becuase as I recall, he felt that the violence was too grahic and made too much a spectacle of -- I found it suitably disturbing, but the combination of black comedy and sickening violence can be off-putting). I actually like the psychedelic sequence of 2001 (when he enters the monolith). 2001 has one of my favourite scenes in film -- when Frank Poole is jogging and shadow boxing around the centrifuge past the sarcophagi. It captures the loneliness of space so well for me. So poignant. Kubrick was brilliant, and quite distinct, with his mise en scene formalism.
For those who like Clockwork Orange, I highly recommend another Malcolm McDowell film -- O Lucky Man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GboRa4Ge2NM |

2001 was way ahead of its time and would win hands down if not for the sepia "journey into the lava lamp" ending.
Thus, I choose clockwork.  |

we've had one of these polls before, and as I recall, last time I was the only person to vote for 'Paths of Glory' with 'The Killing' close behind...and I'm sure, this time will be no different...

The Shining. It's not only my favorite Kubrick film, but also my favorite horror film. It's not a genre I relly pay uch attention to these days. I think the Japanese version of the The Ring is the only horror movie of any note since The Shining.
The Shining was built around suspense and atmosphere, which was reinforced by the great performances, and the excellent soundtrack. Apparently Stephen King didn't like the film, and went on to re-make the story as a mini series. Although the MS does stick closer to the book, Kubricks film is art, and the MS is predictable trash in comparison. IMO... |

I thought this poll was done before, but anyway
2001: A Space Odyssey probably my favorite movie of all time, by my favorite director. |
