My favourite Stanley's movies are The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut.
He was such a talented director and intellectual

He's the best. Once you've seen the big ones (2001, Clockwork, FMJ, Strangelove etc) check out some of his lesser known films like Paths of Glory and The Killing -- they are equally rewarding.

One of the films of my life. I need to take a deep breath but then my mind flows. S. Kubrick & A.C. Clarke = a cinema masterpiece

There's so many frames on this film that are truly Cinema icons. Incomparable, Immense.

This post made me rewind to this old topic.

Absolutely...and artistic masterpiece.

How about some of your favorite stills, SF...from 2001.
Either here or in "classic movies"...

For sure =)

I think John Densmore wrote about watching this film back in 1968 (in his book Riders on the storm). I don't remember anymore in what terms.
