Best Stanley Kubrick movie

Don't get me wrong, I love Hammer, Amicus, Tigon and all that guff.

Clockwork Orange was showing at my local cinema and I missed out on seeing it. Been very long since I originally saw it, and I've never seen it at the cinema.

I love Barry Lyndon.

I had Patrick Magee and Henry McGee confused in my mind for a minute there. Now that was a wild ride.

Benny Hill or Sam Beckett, both bring the LOLs, for sure.

up on iplayer (along with paths of glory and 2001)

Cool it was striking to see someone in a few amazing films and then contrast with horror (I called it hammer only bcz of seeing discussion of their output on here is the extent of my knowledge) which I assume won't have as many demands placed on your actorly skill set (again another assumption)

One of the things I like about Magee is that he is giving exactly the same kind of performance in a Kubrick film as he is in a Freddie Francis film or vice/versa

Yeah thanks that was good.

This, from an interview with Vitali about Kubrick's soundtracks. His films through the 70s were mixed for the narrow frequency range of Academy Mono. There was an art to it. Optimizing them for digital adds lows and highs that were never in the original. It's akin to colorizing. pic.twitter.com/aemS2JmyXF

Surprised Barry Lyndon doesn't have its own thread.

Mrs. America used some of BL's score tonight (prominently) during an awkward first meeting between Phyllis Schlafly and Jill Ruckelshaus (Republican, but very pro-ERA). Not sure what the meaning of that was (beyond the obvious, that it's 1976).

Sorry for spamming but can’t figure out which thread this is best on: http://www.ianwatson.info/plumbing-stanley-kubrick/

This is overdue for a repoll:

Great article James!

“If the Labourites ever get in,” he vowed, “I’ll leave the country.” He feared being ruined by tax-the-rich policies – though he never did quit Britain, doubtless because New Labour, finally elected in 1997, no longer bore much resemblance to a socialist party.

It's funny because Emilio's memoir goes to great pains to dispel the myth of SK as the eccentric recluse (but just as much a demanding pain in the ass) maybe the truth of it is somewhere in the middle.

Seems like there is a documentary as well, S Is for Stanley.
