Almost Famous is great! Crowe didn't miss a beat with that one. And I just love David Lynch, which reminds me of another poll I did way back that I'll bring back. My fav, Blue Velvet! A Masterpiece!

"Paths of Glory", what a superb movie!!!

Kubrick is my preferred American director (although I like several others) and from the list I'd also point "Spartacus" - the battle scene is amazingly well filmed!

Dr. Strangelove, 2001 and Clockwork are also classics! The only funny thing is to see the spacecraft belonging to PANAM in 2001 - Verne's spirit could have helped Kubrick!!!

The movie A Clockwork Orange (with music from Wendy Carlos on his Moog synthesizer) could have been recorded in recent days if you look at the subject, nothing has changed, who are the real psychopaths?!

Or is it Walter Carlos on her Moog synthesizer?

Anyway, Kubrick is my favorite director, and 2001 is my favorite movie of all time. Dr. Strangelove is 2nd. And all the rest are great.

I wonder if anybody ever actually addressed him as "Stan the Man"?

 
So much music. So little time.

I'd agree with you on 2001... but I'm still waiting for SOMEONE on this site to say that 'The Killing', one of the coolest heist movies you'll ever see, is a masterpiece of direction... anyone guys?


I can understand some people thinking 2001 as boring. It does move at a snail's pace. That film was basically an experiment with what is called "absolute film". Other examples of this type of filmaking are like Bunuel and Dali's Un Chien Andalou and Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi (anybody seen that one?) where the "story" is basically told through visual means with little or no dialogue. Tough to appreciate.

Un Chien Andalu is fantastic. Got me hooked to surreal film. I still cringe everytime he cuts her eye open . Now that is what I call prog film. Anyone that like prog will diffinetly love that movie, it's so crazy and orriginal.

By the way, has anyone tried the sync between Echoes and 2001, it works alot better than Darkside/Oz and I actually think the Echoes one is intentional.

Arnold Stirrup noticed that I wrote: " ..with music from Wendy Carlos on his Moog synthesizer.."

Well Arnold, perhaps I have subliminal problems to accept that Walter turned into Wendy ..!
