Have you seen all of Stanley Kubrick's films?
I haven't. Here's somebody's ranking of all of them. There are 13.
Up until last night, I'd seen "Dr. Strangelove," "Lolita," "The Shining," "Clockwork Orange," "Barry Lyndon," "Paths of Glory," "2001," "Full Metal Jacket," and "Eyes Wide Shut." (Named in the order that I like them.)
Yeah, I'd never seen "Spartacus," and I still haven't. Unsurprisingly, I'd never seen "Killer's Kiss" or "Fear and Desire."
The one I finally got around to watching — it's featured in the Criterion Channel's Sterling Hayden collection — is "The Killing." Highly amusing. The women were hilarious. It had Vince Edwards. It had a poodle and a parrot. Plus the great Sterling Hayden (last seen by me in "The Asphalt Jungle"). And at one point a character explains everything (quoted at my son's 101 Years of Movies blog):
You have not yet learned that in this life you have to be like everyone else — the perfect mediocrity, no better, no worse. Individuality is a monster, and it must be strangled in its cradle to make our friends feel confident. … I’ve often thought that the gangster and the artist are the same in the eyes of the masses. They are admired and hero-worshipped, but there is … an underlying wish to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.
The phrase "explains everything" was an intentional reference to the post 3 posts down, "Aaron Rodgers explains everything."
Here's the trailer. It gives way too much away and is completely misguided as a representation of what's cool about this movie. Watch it only if you're a connoisseur of trashy trailers:
