Best Stanely Kubrick Movies

Stanely Kubrick is one of the greatest directors. Even though he has made only a few movies, most of them were considered brilliant and were nominated for the Oscars an won it. Unfortunately he lived only till 1999 for almost 70 years. Some of his best movies are A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Dr.Strangelove, etc..


A Clockwork Orange :



In a futuristic Britain, a gang of teenagers go on the rampage every night, beating and raping helpless victims. After one of the boys quells an uprising in the gang, they knock him out and leave him for the police to find. He agrees to try "aversion therapy" to shorten his jail sentence. When he is eventually let out, he hates violence, but the rest of his gang members are still after him.


The Shining :


"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" -- or, rather, a homicidal boy in Stanely Kubrick's eerie 1980 adaptation of Stephen king's horror novel. With wife Wendy and psychic son Danny in tow, frustrated writer Jack Torrance takes a job as the winter caretaker at the opulently ominous, mountain-locked Overlook Hotel so that he can write in peace. Before the Overlook is vacated for the Torrances, the manager informs Jack that a previous caretaker went crazy and slaughtered his family; Jack thinks it's no problem, but Danny's "shining" hints otherwise. Settling into their routine, Danny cruises through the empty corridors on his Big Wheel and plays in the topiary maze with Wendy, while Jack sets up shop in a cavernous lounge with strict orders not to be disturbed. Danny's alter ego, "Tony," however, starts warning of "redrum" as Danny is plagued by more blood-soaked visions of the past, and a blocked Jack starts visiting the hotel bar for a few visions of his own. Frightened by her husband's behavior and Danny's visit to the forbidding Room 237, Wendy soon discovers what Jack has really been doing in his study all day, and what the hotel has done to Jack.

Dr. Strangelove or : How I learned to stop worrying and Love the Bomb :


At the height of the Cold War, Air Force General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), commander of the Burpelson Air Force Base is convinced of a Communist plot to conquer the Free World, and launches an attack of 34 B-52 bombers against the Soviet Union.

President Merklin Muffley (Peter Sellers), is informed of the attack and meets with his staff, including rabidly hawkish General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott), who concedes that Gen. Ripper may have "exceeded his authority." President Muffley insists that the planes be recalled at once, which unfortunately cannot be done due to security protocols in place. Only Gen. Ripper has the code which will activate the bomber's super-secret radios and allow them to be recalled. Until Army troops under the command of Colonel Bat Guano (Keenan Wynn) can reach and capture the Air Force Base, the bombers will continue flying to Russia.

Back at Burpelson AFB, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (also Sellers), a Royal Air Force exchange officer, tries desperately to convince General Ripper that he should recall the bombers or at least tell him the secret code. Ripper refuses, and instead tells Mandrake a disturbing tale about his loss of "essence" (possibly impotence) and of the Communist plot to fluoridate water supplies. As Colonel Guano's men close in, Mandrake has to help the deranged Ripper fire a machine gun out the window of the office.

Desperate to avoid World War Three, President Muffley summons Soviet Ambassador Alexander de Sadesky (Peter Bull) into the Pentagon War Room. He arranges to speak to Dimitri Kisov, the Soviet Premiere by telephone. After a humorous exchange, Muffley agrees to provide the Russians data on the flight paths of the errant bombers so that Soviet air defenses can shoot them down, if necessary.

Colonel Guano's men finally overwhelm the base defenders at Burpleson, and Ripper commits suicide. The British officer, Mandrake, correctly deduces the recall code for the bombers, and barely manages to get through to the White House as the suspicious Bat Guano watches.

The original scheme -- to shoot down the bombers -- is partially effective though. One of the B-52's is piloted by Major T.J. "King" Kong (Slim Pickens), and his plane is nearly hit by a Surface-to-Air missile. The blast seriously damages the plane, and they have to deviate to a "target of opportunity" while traveling below Russian radar to avoid any more SAMs. Their secret radio is destroyed too, so there is no way to contact this particular aircraft.

Meanwhile, President Muffley learns from the Soviet Ambassador that the Russians have constructed a secret weapon called the "Doomsday Device," which destroy life on Earth if any nuclear bombs strike Russia. Muffley turns to his crippled advisor, former German Nazi scientist Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers again), who admits that while this an effective deterrent, it has obvious flaws -- as demonstrated in the current situation!

Major Kong arrives with his battered B-52 over an available target, but the bomb bay doors won't open. He goes below, wires them open, and rides the bomb to its detonation over the target -- whooping and hollering like a bronco rider.

At the Pentagon, Dr. Strangelove estimates that American society can survive if a few hand picked individuals remain for 100 years in underground shelters, waiting for the fallout to dissipate. General Turgidson notes that the Russians might take advantage of a 'mine-shaft gap' to return to the surface in 100 years and attack the US with stored nuclear weapons and begs for a full-scale attack on the USSR.

The final image shows various nuclear explosions as either the Doomsday Device explodes, the US and USSR trade nuclear weapons to ensure the other's annihilation, or both.


The three movies are one of the most famous movies by Stanely Kubrick .
