I discovered the films of Stanley Kubrick about 4 years ago, and since then I have watched his films many times and studied them in depth. I believe that all of his films are greater than the books they are based on. I believe that his films have more intellectual depth, are made with more skill and talent than almost any book. I cannot say this about any other filmmaker. Kubrick also put years of research into all of his films, claiming to read "every available book" on the subjects which his films were based on.
If you haven't seen these films, they are masterpieces and you should watch them ASAP:
>Dr. Strangelove
>2001: A Space Odyssey
>A Clockwork Orange
>Barry Lyndon
>The Shining
>Full Metal Jacket
>Eyes Wide Shut

Rob Ager is /ourguy/ and has the definitive take on Kubrick's films.
I agree.
he has many delusional borderline schizophrenic theories
That are incredibly well argued and substantiated. Truly based.
for every 1 that is well articulated there are 5 that are nonsense and incomprehensible
That's part of what makes them so good though.
Rob is hit or miss Some of his takes are beyond moronic like Kubrick using movie magic to make the sky disappear in the shining when it's obviously an overcast day in the afternoon, but says them with such authority. He honestly comes off as annoying manchild.
I'm going to reveal how filtered I am. I do not like Kubric. At all
>Dr. Strangelove
Only film of his I actually like. It's good.
>2001: A Space Odyssey
I appreciate aspects of it but don't find it enjoyable to watch. It's decent but meh. 2010 is better lmao
>A Clockwork Orange
I've never sat down and watched it from beginning to end. My dad made me watch it as a kid and I've never appreciated it.
>Barry Lyndon
Tried to watch it, watched 30 minutes, kind of interesting but not enough that I continued watching it
>The Shining
Don't care for it at all. Doctor Sleep is however kino
>Full Metal Jacket
Not a good movie.
>Eyes Wide Shut
Never saw it, Hollywood pedos creep me out, I'd probably enjoy it but I just don't want to watch it
The Killing and Paths Of Glory are brilliant.
Seriously.
Based The Killing Chad
This is my favorite heist movie after Heat and tied with Point Break
The Asphalt Jungle is a masterpiece as well.
Also, Thief is great.
Real film makers write their own stories.
I mostly agree, Kubrick and Scorsese are my exceptions, but Herman Mankiewicz wrote Citizen Kane.
Sure he did.
Brando did bottoming out in way better fashion than Welles.
what about his earlier movies?
You need to watch more films, moron, not just obsess over a meme director.
Go frick yourself homosexual. Kubrick is one of the many best film director.
I have two choices
1. Sleep and be fully rested and ready to tackle the work day tomorrow, without regrets
2. Watch Eyes Wide Shut for the first time, while I'm already on a Cruise Kick from Maverick.. but be more tired tomorrow, and also risk falling asleep watching the movie which is a think that could happen

EWS is the ultimate night time film.
>I believe that all of his films are greater than the books they are based on
Not a great compliment considering he mostly adapted mediocre books. e-girlta is the exception and the book is indisputably better
>Barry Lyndon
>Dream Story
>Clockwork Orange
>mediocre books
I said mostly mediocre books, even then the ones you mentioned are nowhere near the level of e-girlta
I see that you've stopped trying to shill your moronic opinion in Cinemaphile.
When you grow up and start reading the classics properly then you will see how stupid you were.
Frick off back to Cinemaphile you boring incel nerd.
I've read more classics and watched more movies than you, you stupid ape.
>I believe that all of his films are greater than the books they are based on.
Doesn't apply to e-girlta.
>No the Killing
U had 1 job OP.
have a nice day.
No
Also
>No paths of glory
>No
Ok.
I forgot Paths of Glory, so I'm sorry.
>I discovered
What the hell is up with this alt right terminology, you didn't "discover" it you illiterate motherfricker, you found out about it from watching people on the internet praising them, you didn't embark on a personal journey into the unknown unaware of what you'd might find. Try to read some more, you're lexicon is high school tier at best
Cancer upon you, you rude insolent subhuman Black person frick.
I know OP is trolling, but I'll rant on Kubrick anyway.
Kubrick obviously has a reading issue, like adhs or something, I just don't want to believe that he is such an arrogant c**t that he thinks rewriting masterpieces of literature is in any way acceptable.
There is no other explanation as to why he missed the point of every fricking single book he dared making into a movie.
The theme of Shining, the ending of Clockwork Orange, the point of Dream Novel.
He's a genius technician yea, but his story telling, not that great.
You are a low iq moron.
>an adaptation HAS to make the same points as the source material
soda brained frick
lol.
To add to this, who the frick thinks kings novels are any good and deserving of mention? The dude is a literal pleb
LOL
This feels like bait, but I agree with everything you said
I ike the rest but Barry Lyndon from memory is a boring snoozefest. Im pretty sure ive even given it another go and just given up on it. Its a bad movie.
Heh, I like Barry Lyndon best.
Really needs a UHD. As does EWS.
I refuse to take seriously anyone who compares two different mediums, so frick off and watch/read more, homosexual OP
Like I give a frick about your pathetic opinion. Go frick yourself and then burn yourself, you worthless piece of garbage.
>Like I give a frick
>still replies
lmao, pathetic manlet, have a nice day, not even worth a (you)
>lmao, pathetic manlet, have a nice day, not even worth a (you)
thanks anon.
See
I have Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut on my watch list, but have watched the rest. I would rate the novel A Clockwork Orange higher than the film, but I still think the film is nearly perfect. Full Metal Jacket is infinitely rewatchable, and The Shining was a very innovative, if a bit boring horror movie.
