I swear this is the only good board left, all the other boards on here are so culturally devoid of intelligence. In the past month I've gotten a new found love for French films, as well as classic silent films. I'm a filmmaker in my spare time and some of the stuff you guys have posted has seriously inspired me to get off my fucking ass and actually film something.
Also general Kubrick thread, is his stuff before Dr. Strangelove and 2001 worth watching?

Everything he made is interesting in its own way, in part to see how an iconic filmmaker operates under very different circumstances. Fear and Desire resembles a great student film. Killer's Kiss is more of a proper independent film, taking place in the big city of New York. The Killing is a top-notch heist noir. Paths of Glory was his first major success. Spartacus is a studio gargantuan that he could not fully control. Lolita is his return to a scaled back, autonomous style of filmmaking with a better sense of his own style.

Does the pope shit in a funny hat?
The Killing and Paths of Glory were some of his best imo. I don't know what to throw at it, 'timeless' maybe.
Don't deny yourself the pleasure of watching them any longer.
I didn't care much for Lolita, since the book was much better, but I guess it's watchable.
