Stanley Kubrick, 1928-1999
Kubrick took his time with his films, taking four years between Dr. Strangelove and 2001, five years between Barry Lyndon and The Shining, seven years between that and Full Metal Jacket, and then a dozen years until his death, which came before the impending release of his 16th film, Eyes Wide Shut. We are saddened by Stanley Kubrick's death at the age of 70, and proud to offer reviews of these four examples of Kubrick's awesome work. |

Dr. Strangelove
A mad general hatches a plan to begin global nuclear war to save America from Communist contamination. One of film’s all-time great comedies, Stanley Kubrick’s wicked Cold War era satire of the American military is brilliantly conceived and rendered. Click for the review, links & other info Lolita

Born in New York City
in July of 1928, Stanley Kubrick made a huge impression on the world of film, although he
only directed 16 films and just nine in the last forty years of his life. Kubrick's films
were often huge in scale and always were packed with meaning. While his works have been
called impersonal, who can argue with the emotional impact of Lolita,
2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket
and even The Shining?
