Re: stanley kubrick
Definitely an unusual style. He had a tendency to throw a lot of curveballs. A true auteur. I think I liked Full Metal Jacket out of all his stuff the best.Enforcer Talen wrote:general consensus on his directing talents?

May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce.
He gave us Dr. Strangelove. Movie with the Best Ending Ever.
In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. If I wish, I can smash it all. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that raze the mounds of humanity. Out of chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.
His best work was Dr Strangelove, followed by A Clockwork Orange, then Full Metal Jacket.
Too bad his last movie was awful.

He was one of the few good directors...
Dr. Strangelove, SHining, Full Metal Jacket...
And as a funny side note, Eyes Wide Shut had a different, shorter, ending in the American version, because some PCidiots had problems with the ending...
