Stanley Kubrick RE-poll

Michael Fassbinder was a pretty good robot David, but I feel like he would have been better as David Bowman, mostly because he has a good laconic teeth-grinding expression to wear for most of the movie. Frank Poole: for some reason I'm thinking John C. Reilly.

God, the scene where Timothy Carey tells off the parking lot attendant in THE KILLING is so brutal and heartbreaking

Wait the culture war part wasn’t about “Mambo No. 5”?

Re A Clockwork Orange, the book not the movie:

rewatched The Killing and as much as I enjoyed the film it's hamstrung by one of my pet hates - the voiceover

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Suspicions more or less confirmed, held against the prior poll. Also, good job ILX

not sure what you mean about suspicions confirmed, or "held against the prior poll", but there were a lot of votes

my eyes wide shut-heads are once again the most correct

Glad Clockwork got nothing. The Killing and Paths of Glory are, I think, on the short-list of greatest American films of the '50s, but that's just the nature of click-polls that they'd sink to the bottom.

agreed, i grew up in a TCM household and rarely anything caught my attention - it wasn't until seeing films like those that i wanted to go back and revist the era.

I don’t think Paths or Glory or The Killing’s positions would necessarily be that much higher in a ballot-style poll, fwiw. The only sig change would probably be Strangelove moving up a spot or two

Agree on Paths of Glory; it seems to have fallen away over the years. But I think The Killing would finish ahead of Full Metal Jacket, and possibly even ahead of Strangelove in a weighted poll.
