Directors on Why Stanley Kubrick is THE BEST FILMMAKER - Scorsese, Spielberg, Nolan 

I have a story about a man who believes he is a werewolf but actually has rabies It’s called Lythrop

Sounds like the average person in Hollyweird

Oddly one of the things Kubrick *wasn't* accused of in life or death.

@@Theomite Yeah in "Eyes Wide Shut" he basically called out Hollyweird but was forced to edit out a chunk of it 👀

Sounds like the nether regions to me

@@technicaldeathmetalhead no, he wasn’t. that’s a myth.

What’s amazing as well is even though his films have vastly different subject matter and even belonged to different genres, they’re all unmistakably Kubrick.

And could call Paths of Glory the greatest war movie. Amazing how he could take his incredible vision into such wide ranges of movie genres

Comedy one name

Best period piece with Barry Lyndon.

Comedy?

@@toooydoeur you didn’t laugh watching Dr Strangelove ?

Lolita is often included in that masterpiece list

@@Charles12 I wouldn't, it's definitely not on the same level as those listed above. But still, Kubrick has never made a bad movie - except maybe Fear and Desire. I wouldn't know since I haven't seen it yet, but the man himself seemed to think so.

2001 is definitely not a masterpiece

​@@Bruh-bp6nn It is, especially when it comes to visuals.

Eyes wide shut is not a masterpiece it's just Showing what happens behind closed door in Hollyweird

Paths of glory and Fullmetal jacket? I think those are war movies.

@@artistaccountshoot I forgot about that one!

​@@artistaccount You're right but Paths of Glory is an anti-war film, FMJ is a war film

@@CourierSix- FMJ is 1000% an anti war film. However, I do get your point that the anti-war nature of it is not the main point of the movie.

He made multiple war films. Full Metal Jacket and also Paths of Glory is incredible.

@star 3 He was divisive among critics. That's usually the case with greatness in films.

The idea of awards for art is absolute rubbish anyway.

Well yeah Hollywood hates conservative directors and Stanley Kubrick was staunchly opposed to liberalism, you can see this in his films as early as Lolita.

Probably because he was an abusive director, kudos to the academy award

@@kungalexander829 That's a very common fake news story. It was all made up.

His best films?

@@ayushsarangi7242 A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, A Space Odyssey 2001, The Shining Barry Lyndon, Dr.Strangelove, Eyes Wide Shut there’s more these are off the top of my head.

id say the only problem i have with him is making lolita

@@staticturbulence I never even thought about that until I read your comment, I have to agree as well. Peace.

@@staticturbulence How is that a problem? it is a disturbing movie from the perspective of a creep that was adabted from a book. Its not like Kubrick himself is advocating for the things portrayed in that film.

"that everyone use these days..." You are talking like people these days are making modern Kubrick films😂 we are leagues behind from where Kubrick is at

@@leviccas_9294 Kubrick was known for working with the same team over and over again, including actors, and that includes background talent.

Barry Lyndon

2001? It’s a bit overrated

​@@spanishprisonerand you're the arsehole stinking the place out hahahaha

Spilberg!!!

I wonder what Spielberg would consider himself to have given Kubrick.

The same diversity assurance committee, you mean

Literally no difference. @@shawnmurphy9245

Producers are taking over modern cinema because they have today's society behind them. Directors are now unable to truly show their vision. At least that's what i think.

Directors have a choise on where to work. They chose to work under those conditions.@@rufusgreenleaf2466

Tell me you only watch blockbusters without telling me you only watch blockbusters. If you leave the mainstream path, there's tons of variety. Not all of it is good, but saying that 99% of movies have no distinguishing features is ridiculous.

Full metal jacket is a badass film.. that and a clockwork orange are the only two movies i actually own in a physical format lmao the other one is raging bull but thats from scorcese.

Do you know how he tormented Shelley Duvall during the production of The Shining?

@@AL-cn6pp just about everyone... It happened so long ago and since then plenty more awful things happened in Hollywood.. Kubrick was just a no nonsense type of director he had a keen eye and knew what he wanted. Also, your comments on "he makes movies about psychopaths for psychopaths" just tells me you have zero understanding of his work... It's more than just that so instead of being offended get educated on the matter.

@@AL-cn6pp did you know the sky is blue

Barry Lyndon is the greatest film I have ever seen.

And I will soon be the next best director

@@andreimcallister1365 Hows that going?

I wouldn’t say all of them are 10. Some of them are, (and I know, it’s a horrible sin to say) far from perfect. But they’re definitely all unique.

Yup

Ford Francis copolla

Which by the way took longer to film than the entire Dark Knight trilogy

There’s no denying the greatness of Spielberg, if anything he’s giving credit to Kubrick the allowance of Spielbergs greatness. Anyone who’s achieved anything great always has something or someone that inspired them to do said thing.

What are you talking about? He doesn't do that at all bro

@@logantotman they somehow managed to read into this a narrative that by saying "i couldn't give much back to Kubrick", Spielberg was patting himself on the back; as in comparing himself with such a "greatness". It's quite amusing actually how people can do that. One guy plainly elevates the other and yet somehow they see it as an insult 🙈

Directors are ego filled tyrants. All of them. But the most tyrant filled directors who stick to their vision always make great films.

a clockwork orange

That’s insulting lol. Nobody blocks scenes better than Spielberg, and blocking is an art.

An opinion Kubrick would never agree to.

The guy who has Saving Private Ryan on his resume is a journeyman 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Facts. Spielberg is overrated. Theres certain types of films he really nails but some of his are overrated (ET especially)

​@@HugoStiglitz88how can you thinking someone is overrated be a fact? Dumbest comment in human history.

Being a perfectionist Kubrick insisted on shooting on location!

I used to think that was nonsense until I saw 2001 a space odyssey lmfao I have no idea how the hell he made that movie look so good that it looks better than some movies made today. Absolute wizardry

And yet he got exactly what he wanted out of them every time, and his films are filled with excellent performances 🤷‍♂️

Scorsese 🤣🤦

@@stepha5926 Yes, Scorsese :)

​@@princesmith8008 Don't insult Kubrick by comparing him to Scorsese or Hitchcock. One literally depicted how things work in space before an actual human set afoot on the moon. He's not just respected by filmmakers but the entire scientific community when it comes to human evolution in art form. No Hitchcock or Scorsese film did it.

​@@princesmith8008 They're both the best of what they did, but keep in mind that what they did was very different. It's art vs. science. Hitchcock was a master of the ART of moviemaking. He grew up with the industry, and was already an old hand at it when silents gave way to talkies. His focus was on the plot - generally mystery and suspense -- and, like most great examples of the genres, his endings were necessarily free of ambiguities. But within that framework, he was still a master of mood and misdirection. Kubrick could be considered more of a master of the SCIENCE of moviemaking; nobody was even close to him technically, and he loved ambiguity. The combination of those two is the reason Kubrick films have so many conspiracy-like readings and explanations, and why people still argue over what each film "actually" represents. Because his films were so controlled, and cut from so many takes, EVERY SINGLE THING within the frame is likely put there on purpose -- it's up to the viewer to figure out why. Which, to me, is a lot of the fun of a Kubrick film. No one person has to be "the best" at something with so many facets. It's like trying to name who was the best painter or best musician or best writer. I love Kubrick films. I love Hitchcock movies.

@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 How exactly am I insulting Kubrick by comparing him to Hitchcock and Scorsese??? Hitchcock and Scorsese (just like Kubrick) are known as one of the greatest directors of all time. "One literally depicted how things work is space before....." "No Hitchcock or Scorsese film did that" Yeah that's because they never even tried, neither of them wanted to go towards that path in the first place. They just simply weren't interested. Tell me, how many sci-fi movies does Hitchcock and Scorsese have in their filmographies?? Yeah, exactly. Both of them weren't even interested in that genre and those sort of movies. You wrote all those long paragraphs just to point out how these filmmakers are different to one another. Yeah, no shit. Obviously they're different. And all these differences (whether we talk about painters, musicians, writers or filmmakers) give rise to something called "preferences" which automatically leads to comparisons. You like Kubrick movies? Good for you, that's your preference. I personally prefer Hitchcock and Scorsese over Kubrick.

Scorsese tried to get Polanski released so he knows all about touching special areas.

Your peepee 😮

not that they're wrong, but they focus on the things they like, and that's ofc what they go for in their own works

Dr. Strangelove

I'll suggest Paths of Glory

Inception

Mine was A Clockwork Orange. Changed the way I saw movies forever after. Initiated my love affair with cinema.

Full Metal Jacket.

Really glad you're here to repeat what Stephen King said 👍

@@PlanR I'm going by the source material and in the book Jack is NOT the bad guy. Unlike the film.

@@IrishTechnicalThinker He is definitely not the good guy in the book lol
