Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1999, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrick’s final film is a calculated psychosexual trip filled with paranoia, moral depravity and sexual fantasies and excesses.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Barry Lyndon (1975)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1975, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 9 Comments

Kubrick’s understated and underrated costume-drama is, to me, his greatest accomplishment, and possibly the most beautiful period film ever made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Clockwork Orange, A (1971)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1971, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 11 Comments

Kubrick’s dystopian masterpiece frustrates, angers, provokes, and ultimately floors you in ways unlike that of other great films.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1968, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 18 Comments

Kubrick’s most influential film still remains way ahead of its time and is arguably the greatest sci-fi film ever made.

Paths of Glory (1957)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1957, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 5 Comments

One of the most potent anti-war films ever made… so powerful it makes your blood boil at how some humans can be so despicable.

Killing, The (1956)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1956, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 1 Comment

Kubrick treats the crime-noir genre in a revolutionary non-linear storytelling way in what is one of the most effective American heist films ever made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Night on Earth (1991)

  • Criterion Collection, Jarmusch, Jim
  • 1991, Jim Jarmusch, USA
  • 1 Comment

Five uneven vignettes shot in different cities centering on conversations between cab drivers and passengers—this is Jarmusch in easy-going mode as he captures the pathos of human connection.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Farewell, The (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, USA
  • 4 Comments

Billed as one of the year’s best pictures, and quite rightly so, as the film’s mastery of its tragicomic tone and a solid ensemble cast combine to reach both tearjerking and comedic highs.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Hangover, The (2009)

  • Popular
  • 2009, Todd Phillips, USA
  • Leave a comment

4.5 stars

This is highly-accomplished raunchy comedy filmmaking for the modern age, and no doubt one of the best films of 2009.

Joker (2019)

  • Popular
  • 2019, Todd Phillips, USA
  • 8 Comments

What a strange and risk-taking studio movie this is—a disturbingly-violent Hollywood-style if also arthouse-type character study that just about holds everything together thanks to a killer performance by Joaquin Phoenix.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
