That a favorites list or a best list? Either way, kudos on the Kubrick films.

According to the director, she didn't intend the film to be so ambiguous and considers it a failure on her part that so many people were confused. I haven't read the novel, but apparently it's a lot clearer that Bateman was in fact killing people.

I don't know about anybody else, but I really don't have much respect for Brian De Palma, whose biggest achievements in the suspense/horror genre were blatant---and tacky---ripoffs of Hitchcock, so his resentment of Kubrick and The Shining and how Kubrick sort of waltzed right into the genre and did it better than everybody else is made that much funnier to me
