I Was Cured Alright

Advantages: Amazing
Disadvantages: Drags at points

..."The Shining", Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is one you do not want to miss. Back in 1971 this was a big hit and is not praised enough nowadays for it's awesome plot and acting. For those of you who watch Britain's Got Talent, the main character in this movie can be seen singing "Singin' in the rain" numourous times during the movie, which i love! Plot - A Clockwork Orange is set in future London in 1995 (It was the future at the time, back ...

Slave to the System

Advantages: Shiny swords!
Disadvantages: There's no budget, no script editor and stunningly average acting.

...to have the story of Spartacus told to you with talking pictures, then it's the Kirk Douglas movie all the way. It's got a better script, bigger budget and far, far better actors. There really isn't the faintest need for a remake, especially such a poor one as this. If, however, you can be sold on a good-looking guy strutting about all oiled and not wearing many clothes, and some neat sword-fights (um, so if you're like me then) you might enjoy it, ...

"Hello there, soldier. Ready to kill more Germans?"

Advantages: Expertly directed, shot, acted, written and edited. A vital, scathing message
Disadvantages: Frequently overlooked by modern audiences

With a film career spanning nearly fifty years, director Stanley Kubrick is often considered one of the great figures of modern cinema. He is also the perhaps the most consistent; his lean catalogue of thirteen features (his first, 'Fear and Desire' was near enough wiped off the face of the planet at the director's request) is choc-a-block with classics from the dystopian 'A Clockwork Orange' to the cerebral '2001: A Space Odyssey' to the ultra black ...
...mention, each one unique and brilliant in its own right. Even films that tore the critics like his final work 'Eyes Wide Shut' bode the same flair and overarching themes that make it quintessential Kubrick. 'Paths of Glory' from 1957, although not lesser known per se (on the contrary it is a film that is greatly admired), is definitely one of his more overlooked works, much like his other films of that early period in his career. A shame really as ...

Lolita - a Kubrick classic

Advantages: I cant begin to explain how amazing this film is.
Disadvantages: None

...of going through life with Lolita around him. As always the film has Kubricks picturesque beauty which can make any man or women weep in joy. The film is a bit of a romantic comedy but there are a lot of serious issues on morality, ethics, justice, and solipsism. Another thing I love about Kubrick's films is that you can watch them after so many many years and find something new and riveting to sink your teeth into. Its a film that has and will stand ...

Remarkable film from Kubrick

Advantages: It's Kubrick doing what he does best
Disadvantages: It's quite long and slow

...known work, The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon which tells the tale of an Irish commoner making his way through the English aristocracy. A great innovation by Kubrick specifically for this film was to use a special lens which was initially designed for NASA, a lens capable of allowing more light in than was standard on cameras then. Coupled with the stunning locations used throughout, it must be said that this film is one of the finest shot pieces you will ...
...his rich body of work, Barry Lyndon features film making at it's finest, outstanding performances from it's cast, stunning cinematography and excellent use of music. The costume drama might not be everyone's taste, particularly as the film is quite slow moving and very long but just as Kubrick could reinvent the science fiction, the war or the comedy genre, here too he creates a film like no other. ...
