According to those who knew him best, Stanley Kubrick was not
the misanthropic recluse known to the public largely through media
misconceptions. He was, instead, an artist who had created for
himself a hermetically sealed lifestyle designed to maximize control
over his art. From his early career as a photographer to the lengthy
production of his final film, Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick
was driven by the pursuit of perfection, and nearly all his films
have transcended critical backlash and box-office indifference,
to find their acceptance as cinematic masterworks. By spending
years on each of his acclaimed productions, Kubrick
was creating a legacy for the ages--a creative odyssey of astonishing
films (best viewed in widescreen format, when applicable). Stanley
Kubrick films include
2001: A Space Odyssey
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the
Bomb
Paths of Glory
Killer's Kiss

The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
