Those who are at such a momentous event had not been able to get, I suggest to enjoy a wonderful movie houses, as well as other creations recall Stanley Kubrick spending their anniversary photo director. That's just ... Stanley Kubrick - a very controversial figure in the film, his films are vivid and memorable. But hardly nervous and persons under the age of 18 is watching movies listed here.

1. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)





The last movie filmed by Stanley Kubrick and is connected to a superb acting duo of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. That there is only one title of the film - catchy and unlike anything.
Very thin shrill erotic thriller with elements of drama and a detective. The story is about a married couple, with an apparent mean perfect, but always wanting something new. Looking for something different, satisfying fantasies of both spouses, the heroes set foot on a very strange way to even be able to taste the forbidden fruit.
Of course, "Eyes Wide Shut" - one of the most powerful films for both famous actors. But do not forget that persons under 18 years of viewing is prohibited for "scandal" of this work lies in the explicit sex scenes, which, however, look very organically.

2. The Shining (1980)



It is difficult to name any of the films of cult director's "most famous" because they are famous. But, all the same, "The Shining", filmed on the work of Stephen King, just left a lasting impression on all visitors.
Rare old thrillers and horror movies that really scared and do not cause impish smile because of stupid for this time of special effects. In "The Shining" impression of reality, insanity, which is not even all of Kubrick's films were able to beat. I think many people have seen pictures online with eerie kind of twin girls in the corridors of the hotel and a crazy kind of photos Jack Nicholson starred. But what awaits him in the darkness of crime that enveloped the hotel, at first glance seemed so elegant?

3. A Clockwork Orange (1971)



Here it is, perhaps, the most controversial film of Kubrick, loosely based on the eponymous novel shocking Anthony Burgess, written in 1962. The film is, in fact, the book addresses issues of adolescent violence in the world and trying to understand all the aspects of this problem. Because of the serious subjects lit in such a peculiar way, both works have repeatedly been accused of propaganda of brutality and violence.
Most reported that young criminals copy the style of the main character, and even sing when their crimes famous song «Singin In The Rain», sounded in the frame.
This story about the leader of a teenage gang, whose brutal methods of trying to return to a normal life, without any inclinations to violence. The fact that the protagonist is waiting outside the prison is difficult to say a few words, because the story - the whole philosophy that you need to know yourself.
Again, strictly 18+, sex scenes and violence.

4. Lolita (1962)



The film, also shot by the notorious novel, but Russian-American writer Vladimir Nabokov, which was originally written in English and later translated by the author into Russian. This adaptation of the scandalous love story of XX century between a grown man and still very Humbert girl Dolores that diminutive called Lolita. This story is full of pitfalls, and unexpected crimes, but, nevertheless, it lures its audience to the screen because there is no other such stories.
Although removed later version of Lolita, Kubrick's work remains the best and is considered a classic of cinema.

5. Murder (1956)



Well, the film adaptation of novels - one of the strengths of Stanley Kubrick. No one would have never occurred to say that his films do not correspond to write a story or misinterpret them.
Previously, "Lolita," "A Clockwork Orange" and the even earlier "Shine" director has given the world a picture of "Murder", based on the novel by Lionel White's "Snatch." This tape has not caused such a stir, because in fact it is closer to the classic detectives mid XX century. "Murder" - the story of a prisoner released from prison and thought his new crime. To break a big jackpot, the main character has attracted the case of four other people, just hoping to get some good money. But during a robbery planned by the team, it's crumbling ... What is the result of unfortunate criminals?

6. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)



During the filming of this majestic Space Odyssey, Kubrick consulted regularly with experts of NASA. Subsequently, NASA has named one of its probes in honor of the director. Filming really large scale. Even simulating the lunar surface Kubrick had to bring, to wash and paint in a new color several tons of sand.
The very same story develops around the team crew (two captains and their on-board computer), sent to investigate the area of ​​the galaxy, to find out what the aliens to follow the ground.
This topic is of interest not only to fans of science fiction, but also of people, wondering, "Is there anything out there in space?»

7. Full Metal Jacket (1987)



The story of a simple guy who fell on the American base training new recruits for the Marine Corps. Living and training there are incredibly complex - because the boys got to the base, must be turned into cold-blooded killers. Training in a bloody war in Vietnam every day makes the newly minted soldiers to think about the cruelty of senseless killing.
Story films based on the novel by Gustav Hesforda "old man". Kubrick wanted to add his picture the most realistic and therefore not invited to the shooting of famous actors. He needed ordinary people can go through all the hardships of the story as they survived to real prototypes. Thanks to this film turned out, if not a documentary, it is one of those who believe. And what do you need a good war film?
