0=the amount of weight you hold.

Not only is your dislike of Kubrick misguided, but hating on one of his best, most powerful films is silly.

I'd put Stanley Kubrick against every director ever. Who you got?

"2001"
"Barry Lyndon"
"Dr. Strangelove"
"Paths Of Glory"
"The Killing"
"A Clockwork Orange"
"The Shining"

Name an American director with a filmography that's fucking with that as far as crossing genres. He's done dark comedies, war movies, anti-war movies, horror movies, science fiction movies, ultraviolent dramas, and in each case, a case could be made his venture into that genre is among the best anyone has attempted.

Now, if you want to say "Eyes Wide Shut", I'll bite, because as a diehard Kubrick fan, I'm probably guilty of rationalizing it. I still contend it's a good, though obviously not flawless, film.

But "A Clockwork Orange"? Nope.
