As I was listening, I was thinking that "Eyes Wide Shut" may have been the first Kubrick film that actually gave me my appreciation for the man himself....what I mean is, like Jenny, I saw "2001" when I was young - it was boring to me and I didn't understand what was going on. When "EWS" came out, to poor reviews, I didn't see it until it hit cable or video or whatever...and I was mesmerized by it.
So then I thought, 'well, maybe I should watch "2001" again' - and I loved it. I then I thought 'maybe I should watch "Clockwork Orange"...etc, etc.
He truly is one of the great directors of all time, with such a distinctive style....and I may have to watch a movie of his a couple of times to figure out what the hell is going on sometimes, but as Jett (maestro) says - you can rewatch his movies and continue to pick up new things.
Good stuff.
+ I'm with Prof. Dr. - I love Wes Anderson's movies (except that "darjeeling" movie, which I haven't seen because I sense it is terrible).

I really wish I could see "2001" via it's intended cinematic experience (with the "wrap-around" screen).
If you're going to watch it on a 13" Sanyo, then I'm not guaranteeing anything.....

More 'oldies' shows please, or shows that involve both old and new. From a purely selfish point of view I don't always get to catch things when they're first released. Also, I'd don't think you can really assess a lot of films straight after seeing them (apart from the likes of Love Guru of course!) EWS is a good example of this. It's just more interesting to hear you discuss films that I know well, rather than ones I've not seen yet.
