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!"”

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.

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.

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."

Playtime finishing at only #45 is even more scandalous than the nonsupport for Chelsea Girls, the Masque of the Red Death and Kes; yet like 2001 it should be seen in a theater if at all possible.
I wonder what poster art Doinel would've used for Wavelength.

Dude, you numbered it that way. (checks ballot) Oh of course, you were ranking by points, and I read it as positions. My bad. Luckily, your's was the only ballot done that way, so I can do a recount fairly easily. It will be up next week(and it'll be just a list-no pix). There'll be some definite changes in the results, altough the top 3 will stand. (maybe even the top 5.)
Sorry about the screw-up.
BTW Hobart, I got your ballot, but in the rush to finalize things I forgot to note the #1 on my rankings document. The film did get the 33 points it had coming though.
Once again I'm sorry about the screw-up.
