It already did a lot of money, it won't need the random commenter!

I just saw him and it made me laugh that he casually talks about Kubrick’s films meanwhile promoting a children’s movie! “...even Eyes Wide Shut”, you know that movie with the orgies!
Anyway, I love Kubrick, too but my favorites are Barry Lyndon and Dr. Strangelove. Almost no one mentions those as favorites! I don’t know why! All of them are good, tho.

I know sgev! Paths of Glory (1957) is my very most favourite Kubrick film hands down and most people don't even know he made it (in fact most people have never even heard of it). Dan and I have watched it dozens of times - practically worn out our DVD of it!
Dr. Strangelove is probably my second favourite Kubrick movie. But all of his films are ones of substance and offer up such a wide range of material.

Once someone told me he was a big fan of Kubrick but when I said I loved Dr. Strangelove he said he had never heard of it! How it’s that even possible?
BC wrote a dissertation about Kubrick which it’s a very interesting trivia because his training was centered in theater but this show he also has a strong interest for the nature of film. There aren’t too many directors more “filmic” than Kubrick! He was always about the purity of the image.

How could anyone be a self-professed big fan of Kubrick and never heard of Strangelove?? It isn't as if Kubrick made a huge amount of films. All this talk of Kubrick has made me have a hankering for watching Paths of Glory again. I found a beautiful review of it written by Roger Ebert. It describes the powerful emotions and cinematic mastery of that film exactly - www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-paths-of-glory-1957. The ending scene in Paths of Glory is so overwhelming it makes me weep every time I watch it. It truly is one of the best scenes in cinema ever!

If you’re interested, there is a great write up on critic/writer Dan Schneider’s web site Cinemension.

I think he just wanted to sound interesting, the poor guy turned red when he discovered there was a film nerd in the group! It wasn't my intention to exposed him, tho.
