I really do love Kubrick, but those two films were just insane and not for a regular viewer
at all. But I do like them. It's the Barry Lyndon (But this one like, Schubert piece he used in the film has been intermittently stuck in my head since I watched it 10 years ago. @_@) and the Full Metal Jacket and the Eyes Wide Shut I can't stand. (I did like the Vincent DoNofrio part of Full Metal Jacket, but once he was gone it went downhill from there.) Dr. Strangelove is one of the greatest films ever, and Lolita is fantastic, albeit a tad bit irksome. (and a fantastic showcase of just how awesome James Mason really is.
) And The Shining is one of the only horror movies I can seriously say I
love.
