▲Stanley Kubrick is a controversial director. In a good way. His films span nearly every genre he could get his hands on—but start in the wrong place.
Originally a New York photographer, Mr. Kubrick wormed his way into film making with little difficulty. He made documentaries, which provided him the technical skill for turning stills into real movies. He never left England during his last forty years due to a [[Fatal Flaw|fear of flying]].
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
----
* ''Fear And Desire'' - his first real film, which he considered his [[Old Shame]]. Kubrick and his first wife were the only crew on-set during production. [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]], as it has never been released on video and is only rarely screened.
* ''Killer's Kiss'' - Kubrick's second wife cameos in this one.
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' - War movie set in Vietnam. Starred Matthew Modine as Private Joker, really starred R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
* ''[[Eyes Wide Shut]]'' - Starring [[Tom Cruise]] and [[Nicole Kidman]]. Has a "[[Love It or Hate It]]" reputation.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Kubrick was ungodly eccentric, but the quality and impact of his films speak for themselves.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: This was the man who converted lenses from NASA to shoot in natural candlelight in ''[[Barry Lyndon]]'' looking right. Perhaps more impressive was getting an entire fleet of the Spanish army to be extras in ''[[Spartacus]]''.
