The Films of Stanley Kubrick



-------------------------

Hey guys,

In addition to the the wonderful vid above, which is courtesy of
Barringer82, I've also shamelessly copied links to many of the fantastic essays on The Kubrick Site, managed by Roderick Munday. I've read most of them, and I can guarantee you that these are joyous, sumptuous, cinematic thoughts for any Kubrick fan.

Happy weekend reading!

I read them all a long time ago, in addition to some other ones.

And whoever put that video together is a genius posessed
