last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)

'2010: The Year We Make Contact ' is top class....I do wish Kubrick would have been able to do it, but it's still a decent film, enjoyable.

Peter Hyams did an excellent job on 2010.

Kubrick gets a lot of attention, but he's actually very overrated. People always say "Kubrick's 2001" or "Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket" or "Kubrick's The Shining", but in fact they were all taken from books by other people (Arthur C Clarke, Gustav Hasford, and Stephen King). King was angry at the changes Kubrick made to his story. Hasford received little money from the lucrative movie, and died in poverty a few years later.

Spartacus was from a book written by Howard Fast, and the screenplay was by Dalton Trumbo. Edward Lewis and Kirk Douglas decided on everything in the movie. It was to be directed by someone else, Anthony Mann, but Douglas fired Mann at the end of the first week of shooting, in which the opening sequence in the quarry had been filmed, then Kubrick was brought in. Douglas and Lewis found Kubrick's eagerness to take credit for Trumbo's work revolting.

I disagree, Kubrick was a brilliant director....do the best of the best get overrated, maybe by some.

Well 'Kubrick's The Shining' is said because there is another version of 'The Shining' which was a made for tv movie that was as true to the book as it could get and it absolutely sucked balls. In this case it's Stephen King who is the overrated one in my opinion.


Dalton Trumbo was a communist shill

Dalton Trumbo was a communist shill

Perhaps, but he did a nice job on the screenplay for Spartacus.

Roman Polanski was a despicable molester of underage girls, but was was a technically a brilliant director (better than overrated Kubrick, in my opinion).

I'm not a Stephen King fan, but to be fair the TV version of The Shining had a low budget compared to the Kubrick-directed version.

Why would anyone work with that piece of sh1t Polanski? jsut shows when money is around actors will do anything

He may be a piece of sh1t, but his MacBeth (1971) is the best version of that Shakespeare play ever made.

He's a very flawed man, but he has an undeniable talent for directing movies.

Chinatown was good, Rosemary's baby is overrated, what else does he have? The Ninth Gate? The Pianist? YAWN.....I've never been a fan of Polanski.


I hat eto admit that I do enjoy 'Midnight In Paris' which is a Woody Allen film, and Woody Allen is a shitshow of a person.

Kubrick was great. Eyes wide shut is filmed so eerily. He did some great shit plus he was so whacked it was cool

He seemed to be exposing his own very rich and powerful group in Eyes Wide Shut. It was his best movie, but some say he paid for it with his life.

Finally watched Dunkirk and actually liked it a lot. Seemed to get a lot of stick from critics and can see that too. Loved the way it tied pilots, civilians and evacuating soldiers points of views together. Depressing as hell in spots though but can only imagine 100 worse as it unfolded.

Loved it - very entertaining

I have the Hulu for free on my phone. This is my first experience with it. I watched I, Tanya last night, not all in one sitting, but it was decently acted and somewhat interesting. Hulu has some interesting movies. I wouldn’t say rush to see I, Tanya but if you have some time to kill it will keep your interest
