The first fifteen minutes of A Clockwork Orange involved the rape of a woman using a clown mask . Uh, no thanks.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Barry Lyndon is one of the most beautiful movies ever made.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, so is Days of Heaven, but the latter is (I can say) about as boring a movie as you'll find.
(It was shot almost entirely in the gloaming, and it shows; pity nobody spent that much care on the script.)

Days Of Heaven is known in my family as Hours of Hell.
Barry Lyndon made me gasp and cry. I don't remember ever being bored.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I like Full Metal Jacket up to the hooker scene and then I don't. I feel I may just be too too shallow for the Kubrik love.

Full Metal Jacket is a comedy. I laugh like a loon every time I see it.

I love Barry Lyndon and Dr. Strangelove and the orgy scene in Eyes Wide Shut. (Yes, I am shallow.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My parents love to talk about seeing Barry Lyndon in theatres when it first came out, because they were practically the only ones saying "Wow, that was fucking brilliant" in a sea of "Oh. My. GOD that was boring."
It's not a film for everyone, but I love absolutely everything about it. All the elements work so perfectly together.

Eyes Wide Shut is the only Kubrick movie I've seen. And I wish I hadn't.
I love Days of Heaven.

Everybody ought to have seen Dr. Strangelove because it is funny.
On the other hand, I rewatched This Is Spinal Tap over the weekend because it was a Komedy Klassic. It still doesn't make me laugh. Perhaps it's because I don't watch the genre (rock documentary) it parodies.
