Stanley Kubrick would have been 77 today...

Born July 26, 1928 in NYC...I used to look forward to reading the movie section to see what was playing; nowadays it's Wedding Crashers, Fantastic Four, Bad News Bears, and coming soon The Dukes Of Hazzard, playing on 6 screens in your local multiplex...

Oh Stanley, why did you leave us? :cry:

1. Just think of the films he would have made based on this day and time.

2. One of the great ones.

In a film about Kubrick's movies, Jack Nicholson said (not sure of the exact quote) that every thing in a Kubrick film was conscious -

My personal favorites:
1) 2001
2) Dr. Strangelove
3) Paths of Glory
4) Barry Lyndon (yes, it really was a great movie)
5) Clockwork Orange

(I can't list Lolita - even though beautifully and unsentimentally filmed, it didn't capture the essence of the book. Having said that, I don't think any other director could have done a better job interpreting it.)
