Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick’s feature debut. During an unnamed conflict, four soldiers crash-land in enemy territory and confront the horrors of war. According to the IMDb, Kubrick disowned the film, comparing it to “a child’s drawing on a fridge.” Fair enough, if said child possesses Kubrick’s potential.

Stanley Kubrick’s sophomore feature tells the story of a boxer who falls for his neighbor and runs afoul of her gangster boss. An uneven effort, it nonetheless shows flashes of brilliance.

An ex-con (Sterling Hayden) masterminds a daring racetrack robbery.

During World War I, a Colonel (Kirk Douglas) defends three troops on trial for cowardice due to a General’s blunder.

A college professor (James Mason) marries a woman (Shelly Winters) in order to be close to her nymphet daughter, Lolita (Sue Lyon).

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is, perhaps, the greatest black comedy ever made.

A giant monolith leads a group of astronauts to Jupiter in a search of the origins of humans.
