In Reply to: NO director matches the number of Kubrick's great films. posted by tinear on February 3, 2004 at 07:02:40:
Lesse... The Killing stays... being an early work. So does the Paths - that one with no reservations. Spartacus goes - a HUGE Hollywood cacarella, with very little value... the Shining goes... another kaka... FMJ has some good things, but it not really a masterpiece, but OK, keep it... Lolita - bleah! GONE! Clockwork - as I said recently, a dated EWS precursor... goes... 2001 is just OK... Dr. stays. Ah, and add Barry, of course.That editing leaves perhaps four or so truly remarkable works.
I don't know what you have been smoking, but there are dozens of directors with better scores.
