OK, let ne start with my all-time favorite: Barry Lyndon.BTW, does any one know how come it only gets three stars in most movies books, while Tom Jones gets five? I personally like Barry Lyndon much better even from the camera work and hystorical perspective. To me it is an utimate visual treat in addition to an unmatched music selection. I am quite close to saying that it is my favorite Kubrick's movie.
#2. The Music Teacher. That one seems to be getting five stars - and boy, oh, so well deserved. More Schubert... Does anyone know if it is available on the DVD?
#3. Just saw the Basileus Quartet. I shall just say that if you have not seen it yet - get it.
Others?
Victor.
Are you referring to the soundtrack or must the movie be about music?
I have two:
Bird-the story of Charlie Parker directed by Clint Eastwood
Glory- about the first all Black regiment in the US civil war, the sound track blends so well you don't notice it at first. It was recorded using the same techniques as used for Mercury Living Presence lps.
I was so depressed after seeing (and hearing) this movie that I binged on comfort food for two days. Somebody should also mention the usual suspects in this movie category: Amadeus, Immortal Beloved, etc.For something non-classical, I recommend Until The End Of The World--interesting sci-fi story and eclectic soundtrack music.
***I was so depressed after seeing (and hearing) this movie that I binged on comfort food for two days.Interesting. I didn't find it too depressing. It is one of my favorite ones - I should have mentioned it the first time.
Ah, and the Crimes by Allen. Fantastic use of the 14th quartet.
I always enjoy the retro jaz/pop music in many of his creations. The man has a great talant, even if my wife considers him a self-centered scumbag (she completely agrees with the talant part). There was a documentary the other night about him playing clarinet in Italy. I missed most of it. I thought his playing was just so-so.

Yup, that Woody Allen is one great director. My favorites are Manhattan and Hanna And Her Sisters.Forgot to mention '32 Short Films About Glenn Gould' in movies about music/musicians. Also, that Jacqueline DuPre film.
***Yup, that Woody Allen is one great director. My favorites are Manhattan and Hanna And Her Sisters.I would probably name the Sleeper and the Crimes as mines.
***Forgot to mention '32 Short Films About Glenn Gould' in movies about music/musicians.
Need to get that one.***Also, that Jacqueline DuPre film.
What's the name of that one?

"where'd you hear the word screw?"
"from a plumber"
Victor,Have you purchased the Kubrick DVD set? Just curious about the picture quality of Barry Lyndon, FMJ and Clockwork Orange (compared to the LDs). Of course the DVDs will be superior, I'd just like to hear about it!
I look forward to finally seeing Killer's Kiss as well.
Have you seen the soundtrack listings for Eyes Wide Shut?
***Victor,
***Have you purchased the Kubrick DVD set?No, not yet, but I would like one for sure. What is a good place to buy it? Does the www.buy.com have it? They usually seem to have the best prices. How much is the set and what does it include?

I would like to try it myself. Although, recently I have been watching a lot of old VHS movies on our large (100") DLP projector and I am actually quite surprised as far as how enjoyable that is. I thought I would not want to watch the tapes on a large screen, but it turns out it is simply great.
It seems like the old B&W movies benefit from the large screen a lot too. We had the "Wages of Fear" on DVD and it was a trully enjoyable experience.
We have been swimming in old tapes recently and if the movie is any good, you forget about the format limitation right away and just flow with it.
I wholeheartedly recommend the large screen for those who love old movies. You get tired quickly of all those spectacular DVD's and just want to watch a good movie. Among the many recent high visual quality productions I think it may be just Ronin that I would like to see more than once.
***I look forward to finally seeing Killer's Kiss as well.
I have never seen this one and would like very much to finaly see it.
***Have you seen the soundtrack listings for Eyes Wide Shut?
I looked and most of the stuff there is unfamiliar to me. However, knowing what Kubrick usually does in terms of music selection I am very tempted to try it.
I shall never forget the goosebumps that the "Paint it Black" at the end of FMJ had created in muy case. Even my wife was touched, and she is as far removed from the Rolling Stones as is only possible.
By the way, don't overlook the Ran on DVD.
Sincerely,Victor.
Victor,The best price for the Kubrick Collection is 800.com, they have it for $79.95 (half-off list!). I've included the URL to DVD Price Search, you can compare prices for this set and any other DVDs you're thinking about buying for yourself. Then buy them through Audio Asylum's links if you can!
I love "Wages of Fear" (which reminds me, I need to check out the "Sorceror" DVD), I have WoF and and the original "Diabolique" on S-VHS tape.
Hmm... it appears the Kubrick DVDs are just the LD transfers. Too bad...
Just a typo, honest...
