Have you seen Wall*E? IMO 2001 was a huge influence.

I probably won't see that until it's on HBO if I see it at all. I don't much care for animated films. However, I now have more incentive to see it just to see
2001's influence.

I think it sucked save for Matt Dillon.

Have you seen all of his films? Which ones have you tried to watch and not liked and why? As a huge Kubrick fan, I'm always curious to hear what people have to say, regardless of whether it's good or bad.

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.

Wow. Two movies in my top ten. IMO,
Once Upon a Time in the West is the best Western ever made. Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda were phenomenal, I loved Jason Robards as Cheyenne, the cinematography was staggering, and Morricone's score is one of the most beautiful scores ever made if not THE most beautiful.
As for
Once Upon a Time in America: It's my favorite film of all time. I literally have nothing bad to say about a single second in the entire 3+ hours the film runs.
