It might have been challenging for Kubrick to translate that to film

Inception was a beautiful film, you should definably check it out.

Full Metal Jacket was near perfect though.

Still, though, Fight Club, Sweeney Todd, American Beauty, and American History X have to be my all time favorites. Also, this little French film: Chaos, German film: 4 Minuten, <-- MUST SEE THIS CLIP, IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! More French: Blame It On Fidel Amelie La Vie en Rose AngelA Le Cite des Enfants Perdue (The City of Lost Children) <-- Talk about eye candy! German: Vitus Run, Lola, Run The Princess & the Warrior Das Experiment Spanish: The Devil's Backbone Pan's Labyrinth The Orphanage I gotta get back to work, I've been fucking off way too much now!

Dude, I can't believe you didn't say anything about that girl playing the piano. I've never seen anyone play the piano like that, not before and not since. It's just phenomenal.

I think his movies were expansive and visually stunning... I was telling my brother just yesterday that there was something about some films from the 1970s that was visually captivating that has been lost in some ways... the use of color and texture, even if the films themselves had dumb plots. Such movies like Death Race 2000 and Phantasm may have been stupid, but they were visually wonderful Then there is the Shining, which although it was made in 1980, it was of that same era of largeness and texture and color of the 1970s. Other examples that come to mind are Charlie and the Chocolate factory (Violet's blue dress with red accessories comes to mind as an example of what I am talking about) Clockwork Orange is one of these sorts of movies... like when he beats the woman in the head with the phallic art.. tell me that didn't impact you visually

Sadly, I've had it in for Kubrik ever since he screwed up The Shining. It was not the same as the book. Maybe they just didn't have the technology to make it like the book, but it was so far off the beaten path, I mean, the dad still could have used a croquet mallet or whatever it was like in the book instead of using an axe. I know the rest of the world loves him and thinks he's a genius, but when I read a book and go to the movie, I want to see what I read, not what somebody thought the book SHOULD have said instead.

Top Ten Worst Movies: Anything Spielberg, from ET and Close Encounters through anything with Hanks [although Ryan's Privates despite the bullshit revisionist history comes in the best of the cumdump (hey, my word-of-the-day!) at #10 for the OK battle sequence at the beginning]. And note it's movies, so that excludes 'Animaniacs'. Movies I HAVE to watch even if they're on at 2am and I have the DVD: Casablanca All Quiet on the Western Front [1930] Aliens 2 Terminator 1 Slapshot Blood and Doughnuts Anything Python, esp. Holy Grail Anything Cronenberg, esp. The Dead Zone 1900 Wings of Desire

Vex -> RE: Views on film (8/20/2010 8:42:53 PM)
A few movies I would like to add that have not been mentioned yet. Boondock Saints Pulp Fiction (or anything Quentin Tarantino in my opinion) Army of Darkness George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead Shaun of the Dead Running Scared (sort of a modern day Alice in Wonderland kind of movie) Stranger than Fiction Underworld Enemy at the Gates Poolhall Junkies And some of the ones that have already been mentioned would have to be Full Metal Jacket A Clockwork Orange Monty Python's Holy Grail (or any of their work for that matter) Pan's Labrynth There are lot more that I think are good but those are some of the favorites off the top of my head
