Best of Kubrick

Kubrick’s international cut of The Shining (1980) runs about 25 minutes shorter than the U.S. cut.

This A Clockwork Orange (1971) scene could never be filmed the same way today. Kubrick took one of the happiest songs ever made and turned it into something deeply disturbing.

What's your favorite atmosphere in a Kubrick movie? I'll start

A very subtle detail in the background of Eyes Wide Shut that few people noticed.

Kubrick’s unmade Napoleon project gathered around 17,000 images and tens of thousands of notes.

Stanley Kubrick was often seen as cold and obsessive, but with Danny Lloyd on The Shining (1980), he was careful in a very human way. He protected him from the horror around him, kept him away from the most disturbing scenes, and let him believe he was making a family drama, not one of the most terrifying films ever made. Watching this scene with that in mind hits differently.

Last words ever spoken in a Kubrick film.

Nothing in Kubrick's films is accidental.

Are The Shining ghosts real?

You won’t see a fight scene this well-choreographed and executed in a Marvel movie. Cinema was never the same after Kubrick.

In 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) the rotating “centrifuge” set let the camera film walking/jogging in real gravity-like motion.

The craziest part is that the pen trick was one of the simple ones. 2001: A Space Odyssey had to make space, zero gravity, artificial intelligence, and the future believable without CGI. That’s why the film still looks impossible today

Imagine seeing this in 1971. The theatre lights fade away and then you're smacked in the face by an orange screen and a synthesized sound you have never heard before or could ever imagine.
