I'm simply going to pretend you never made this post.

Full Metal Jacket is a great movie. Until they leave bootcamp and go to war and then it sucks. I refer to movies with a great first half and a terrible second half as suffering from "Full Metal Jacket Syndrome" or FMJS for short. I borrow this terminology partially from comedian Patrice O'Neal. Another fine example of a movie suffering from a fatal case of FMJS is Independence Day.

revised top 3 favorite Kubrick movies list:
1. Dr Strangelove
2. Eyes Wide Shut
3. Clockwork Orange

I kind of agree with Oriphiel with regard to 2001. Great concept, and some great scenes/visuals, but kind of boring to watch overall.

He should read "The Road" and "On the Beach". He'll jump off a bridge.

I'm biased with the Shining since it's my favorite movie ever

Queen of England 07-09-2017 10:35 PM
The Shining is definitely my favorite horror movie. But I'm not that big on horror movies.

The thing about it is that the modern ones are much more cheap in terms of storyline but they scare me more than The Shining because of the jump scares. And the jump scares are pretty cheap and predictable. But they still give me more of a jolt than The Shining or any other "classic" type horror movie. Where as The Shining is just creepy but not as scary. But much more enjoyable as an actual movie.

And don't give me some deeper meaning ****. I don't care about some deeper meaning. I watch films for entertainment and it failed to do that.

Well there is a reason why he's called what he's called .... ;)

Seriously: I watched 2001 again last night and I still have no clue what it's about. But for visuals (Jupiter and beyond the infinite) it's hard to beat for a late-sixties movie. I do love it though. Possibly ruined it by writing/releasing 2010. That's one movie that did not need a sequel.
