A Clockwork Orange (1971,  R)
A Clockwork Orange
Everything about this movie is perfect. Of course it's disturbing, violent, and even disgusting at times, but that's much of the point. So I feel Stanley Kubrick does a more than perfect job at creating a disturbing, but darkly beautiful and even surreal atmosphere all throughout the movie. The acting is over the top at times, but I love it for that, and can't get over how amazingly well Malcolm McDowell plays Alex. He creates a character you despise, or rather really want to despise, and yet his intelligence, charisma and good looks (and of course his very gentleman-like goloss) makes it surpisingly difficult (atleast for me, anyway). His "droogs", as well as the other characters were also acted out extremely well. The soundtrack was brilliant, the music itself capturing the atmosphere of the movie perfectly. Overall, this is a must-see, and in my opinion it is one of the greatest, most original, and most brilliant films of all time. I also highly recommend the novel.

Lolita (1962,  Unrated)

I didn't like it the first time I'd watched it, but I'm glad I gave it another chance, for it's definitely one of my favourites now. Kubrick's directing was exceptional as always. Peter Sellers acting as Quilty was beyond amazing, and is definitely one of my favourite roles of his (although it's so difficult to chose.)

Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964,  PG)
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove is one of those movies I will never grow tired of watching, and is infact better each time I do. The directing by Stanley Kubrick was wonderful, as well as the acting, especially Peter Sellers, who played Dr. Strangelove (as well as Mandrake and Muffley, of course) better than anyone else ever could have. It without a doubt deserves the "classic" title it has been given, and is definitely one of my favourites.

The story itself was kind of dull, but it was really neat to see the first film Kubrick had ever directed (even if it was a very short film.)
