COMMENTS:

“I've seen it so many times I almost forget it's meant to be a comedy; in a lot of ways it works just as well as a straight thriller. But I never fail to crack up at "Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines!"”

--Justyn Dillingham

so lame.

My gripe: too many African films.

I don't know why it would be a shock that a poll consisting largely of American voters (with a lesser number of Britishes and Australians, and the odd Scandinavian here and there) is dominated by films dominant in American culture.

I've never seen Lolita or Barry Lyndon, but the only Kubrick movie I could see an argument for not being entertaining is 2001.

PETER SELLERS/GEORGE C. SCOTT/PETER SELLERS/KEENAN WYNN/PETER SELLERS/STERLING HAYDEN/and who could forget...SLIM PICKENS

Yet I did not vote for it.

Great flick, but maybe the problem in this case is that it was released in America by AIP in modified form as "The Conquer Worm" and has gotten spotty reissue since. MGM needs to get off their ass and put it out along with the Leone remasters.

A Taste of Honey
Irma La Douce
In Cold Blood
Satryicon

Sometime soon i'll post a similar list of 101-228

i may be mistaken here but as far as i know the word "psycho" was not commonly used as an abbreviation for "psychopath" until hitchcock's film (it literally means "mind") it came into common currency, as an abbreviation, after that. also i'm not sure that that "psycho" as a title is referring to hopkins' charater.

This reminds me of a comment on one of the Kubrick threads I didn't use:

"AB and I rewatch 2001 earlier this year at a cinema: at the bit where the space-hostess walks upside down in non-gravity, AB looks at her butt and whispers: "I see in the future they can fly to Jupiter but they still haven't cured VPL." We giggle so much we risk being a. chucked out of cinema b. being lynched by humourless kubricoids around us."
