Kubrick is #1
Kubrick is possibly my favorite director of all time. Actually more often I would probably say it's the Coen brothers, but if I did then Kubrick would definitely be a worthy second. And I know the Coens are huge fans of Kubrick's work

Re: Kubrick is #1
Kubrick is one of my favorite directors... I would put him just below William Freidkin! (ever see "Sorcerer" or "The Exorcist" ?) I LOVED "The Shining" and "Clockwork Orange" and "Platoon" and especially "Dr. Strangelove"!

Re: Kubrick is #1
I've only seen one Coen Brother's film, Fargo. I think I've seen Barton Fink, but I'm not sure. They have done quite a few films, haven't they? What have they done, again? Also, what do you think of Get Carter (1971)?

Never seen Sorcercer, but I like The Exorcist! Do you find it scary?

Kubrick didn't do Platoon! He did Full Metal Jacket! But they're both excellent!

Re: Dr_Gor
My Bad! "Platoon" was Oliver Stone! Kubrick was "Full Metal Jacket" ... GREAT movie!

2001
The only Kubrick film I wasn't that keen on was 2001: A Space Oddysey. I thought it dragged on too much and was a bit confusing. What do you think?

Re: Kubrick is #1
Thsi is so weird. Dr. Gor, you just mentioned The Exorcist (although not that weird since you metion it a lot) And El_Aaron you just mentioned Get Carter. I just watched The Exorcist yesterday for the first time and I'm about to watch Get Carter for the first time tonight! WHAAAA WEIRD!

Get Carter is a real treat! You'll enjoy it! It portrays Brits how a lot of us are actually like. We are not snotty at all! Also, the time in England at the moment is 23:55. I feel dead tired and am going to sleep. I will discuss with you all some more tomorrow!

Re: Risselada
I think I have watched "2001: A Space Odyssey" more than ten times! I LIKE this movie a LOT! But I am still not sure if I 'get it', if you know what I mean! The ending is a little... 'deep' ... I think there is a vague message there and I THINK I get it! not too sure, though...
