Quote from: Spotted Horses on Today at 09:40:58 PMI remember, many years ago, enjoying Maugham's Of Human Bondage, but I tried to read it again and fount it utterly insufferable. The Razor's Edge might be a better bet.

Quote from: vers la flamme on Today at 02:38:05 PMThat was one of my favorite bits of Hamlet, which I read for the first time only in the past wintertime. And no, I haven't read a page of Burgess... which I also need to fix. I've been curious about Earthly Powers ever since I first read the infamous opening line:
You reckon he really based his protagonist on Maugham? (Another writer I haven't read a page of—I guess my 20th century British lit is lacking, though I really like Graham Greene.)

Quote from: LKB on Today at 08:04:26 PMResurrecting this thread ( for who knows how long ) because Kubrick should be on people's minds whenever they decide to visit the movie theatre, thus being aware of where the bar resides.
From 1968 ( when I first saw it in Sacramento's sole Cinerama theater ) until very recently, 2001: A Space Odyssey was my undisputed, all-time favorite movie. The combination of classical music, compelling Sci-Fi themes and unexcelled production values made an impression upon me that remains undimmed.
My other preferred Kubrick films are:
1. A Clockwork Orange,
2. Dr. Strangelove
3. Full Metal Jacket.
Let those who are unaware explore and inquire.
As for those of you who have a favorite Kubrick film, I suppose you'll jump in without any encouragement
