Wow, this one's back from the grave.

FMJ never did it for me. It had moments but the physical setting always seemed lacking. Too new, too manufactured.

I can't choose between Clockwork Orange, 2001, and Strangelove. They're all amazing.

Shining was great as a film adaptation. It wouldn't have worked without either Nicholson or Kubrick.

Lolita is great in a weird way. Unusual role for Mason. It'd be interesting to see the pre-cut version, if it was saved.

If you're a fan be sure to catch Kubrick: A Lifetime in Film.
