I've grown bored of every Kubrick film I've watched, except for The Shining and Full ****l Jacket. The first half of FMJ is as good as a movie can get, IMO. However, I just can't get into Kubrick's stuff. Dr. Strangelove was ok, but not great.
On another note, I'm trying to watch Once Upon A Time In The West, but God, it is sooooooo slow. I've watched about 40 minutes of movie with about 2 minutes of material. I'll try to watch it to the end, but I don't know how much I'm going to like it. Also, I tried to watch Once Upon A Time In America, and I just didn't like it (although I must admit that I still have about 45 minutes of the movie left. Sergio Leone directed both films, and so far, I don't like either one of them (especially OUATIA). Don't get me wrong; Sergio has directed two of my favorite films - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, as well as For A Fistful Of Dollars.
