As far as Kubrick goes, I've seen A Clockwork Orange and I hated it, same goes for 2001. I think 2001 was groundbreaking, but just because a movie is groundbreaking doesn't mean I'm going to like it. Dr. Strangelove wasn't bad, but wasn't a classic IMO. Full ****l Jacket - the movie should have stopped when R. Lee Ermey was shot. His performance, as well as D'Onofrio's performance, were two of the best that I've ever seen. The Shining was good, not great, but definitely worth watching. One thing I like about Kubrick is that he didn't need to switch the camera angle every second. I hate that about movies nowadays, and I feel like it is done to cover up shitty directing.

But I respect other people's opinions, even if they differ from mine. That's why movies are great - they are left up to interpretation.

Oh, another director to add to my hate list - Danny Boyle. I fucking hate his movies. They all start out good or with a good premise, then after awhile I get bored of the story, then the ending to his movies are always horse shit. The two that come to mind are 28 Days Later and Sunshine. Both movies started out with promise, and both of them sucked IMO.
