no pookie! no!
clockwork orange was brilliant. i must have seen it 15 times. best movie ever certainly not but good & groundbreaking in its way. i like barry lyndon better now but anyway.
the shining, though quite slow, has amazing cinematography. i don't know if you're telling this from the point of view of a horrorshow hater or stephen king vindicators? i usually dislike horror movies but the shining is a visual delight.
full metal jacket was pretty good too.
eyes wide shut i feel is where kubrick was misunderstood. i really liked that movie. it was
scary. as much as i despise tom cruise he was perfectly cast as this well-meaning but bumbling idiot. and nicole kidman blew the poor little bastard out of the water.
