In Reply to: Astonishing! Kubrick lifted his most famous "2001" visual from a Powell and posted by tinear on May 4, 2011 at 12:03:18:

...way back in 1973-74, at the Art Institute of Chicago.

I already loved Powell and Pressburger but Stan Brakhage's film classes at the 'Tute made me appreciate the Archers even more.

I've always maintained that the Powell/Archers run of films in the 40's to early 50s - Thief Of Baghdad, 49th Parallel, One of Our Aircraft Is Missing, The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp, A Canterbury Tale, I Know Where I'm Going, A Matter Of Life & Death, The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, The Small Back Room, Gone To Earth and Peeping Tom - is one of the most amazing runs of filmmaking in movie history. Major, major stuff. Sometimes it seems only Scorsese was paying attention, but, of course, we have the evidence that Kubrick was impressed enough to steal one of Powell's most iconic images.

Funny you should bring this up now; I just re-watched A Canterbury Tale in February.
