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.

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.

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.

Confession: I bought a VHS tape of Dr. Strangelove about 5 years ago at a yard sale. I still have not watched it. Sometimes, I pretend I have seen it, because for some reason, this embarrasses me. t /crazy

Hee! I love confession time! Here's mine: I don't really like The Maltese Falcon . My GF has much love of it and I know I should, too, but I just don't. It sorta bores me.

Up with the sun
I saw Dr. Strangelove in high school, and I didn't get it. Maybe I would like it better now.
Spinal Tap is one of my top-10 favorite movies. I never thought of the humor in it as depending on knowing about rock music cliches, but maybe it does.
