8 Jaw-Dropping Movie Scenes That Define Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick has been sadly missing from this Earth for around 14 years now, but his work is still enjoyed and loved by millions today. A Kubrick film always feels, sounds and looks as though he made it personally, and it is for these reasons that he has set himself in history as a true auteur. Love one of his films? Chances are you will probably love the rest. Same rule applies if you're not a fan, too. The biggest criticism of his work is that he leaves people feeling cold - with a few of my list entries here, I hope to dispel that myth and convince naysayers otherwise. Everybody always tells you that you should write about what you know, of course. Now, I am never a fan of blowing my own trumpet, but I like to think I know quite a bit about the work of Stanley Kubrick. At least, that's what I thought before I began compiling this list. Things I never knew about the man's work kept cropping up - simply writing about him made me want to revisit every single film mentioned throughout this list, which I ultimately did. So think of this article as an ode to Stanley - I sincerely hope that, if this article does nothing for you, at the very least it implores you to watch his films again (or perhaps for the first time - you lucky devil, you!). Read on, then, for 8 movie scenes that define who he was as a filmmaker...
