I was gnoing to give him.a 3 but I gues this isn't that yyp of poll

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

hard to give a 10 but he is as close to the current conception of ideal cinematic artwork as anyone else so thats a 9 to me

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

EWS is great, but not more notable than A Clockwork Orange. Just sayin'.

The ones i love the most, i would say. So the difference between a 9.5 and an 8.5 lol

Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece for me.

If he doesn't get a 10 then probably nobody does.

Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece for me.

It's for sure a great movie. I'd rank it higher than 2001. On par with Shining. Not as good as the first half of FMJ, but better than the second half.

FMJ second half is worse, but it's still a great film.

If he doesn't get a 10 then probably nobody does.

He's a 10 directing-wise, an innovator, genius who made only 10ish films but all varied and excellent in their own genre, but he's not in my top 5 directors just top 10 as i watched his films after years, but you're correct that as a director he's probably the best ever alongside Welles and Hitchcock i'd say.

Have you seen any of Leone, Lang, Fellini or stuff like the old Nosferatu etc?

One of the Goats.

One of the Goats.

You like SM1 and SM2 but disliked Spider-Man 3 that much btw?

He's done better than that film, check out evil dead trilogy

FMJ second half is worse, but it's still a great film.

Really the second half of FMJ sets the bluerprint for a lot of Tarantino's career IMHO.

I don't see much similarities between Tarantino and Kubrick, i'd say Leone, Corbucci, Scorsese or even Takashi Mike seems more of an influence in his cinema.

Generally no but that section of FMJ with the way existing pop music is worked into scenes and the sweary aggressive banter I think the similarity is pretty strong.

 

[Kryptt]

9-10 Lots ta like...

He’s the GOAT. Or if he’s not, then Fellini is and he’s #2.
I gave him a 10.

I understand, but that's a stretch. Tarantino usually takes iconic moments and creates a film out of them, it's pretty amazing because you can really see his love for cinema in general, that's why homage and not rip-off is the correct word to describe films such as Kill Bill and Django.

Being said, what are your favorite Kubrick films? In my opinion 2001, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut are his best films.
