Top Five III: The Films of Stanley Kubrick
Mr. Kubrick died 9 years ago today.
1. A Clockwork Orange (1971)
2. Barry Lyndon (1975)*
3. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
4. Paths of Glory (1957)
5. The Shining (1980)
Unseen: Killer's Kiss (1955), Fear and Desire (1953)
*The first 30 minutes or so of Barry Lyndon (i.e. until Redmond Barry first leaves for the European continent) remain the finest, more perfect thing ever committed to film. Why yes, Mr. Kubrick is perhaps my most favoured filmmaker. Biased much? Heavens no.
