May 3, 2001Future Thugs/Brainwashing
One of the key films by Stanley Kubrick, centred around ultra-violent thugs in a near-future setting. Everybody was outraged at Kubrick choreographing scenes of violence to classical music but the film has a considerable brilliance and very dark sense of humour

Dec 17, 2000Epic Fantasy/Animation
Way back before Peter Jackson, Ralph Bakshi conducted this animated adaptation of J.R. Tolkien. While by no means uninteresting, the film was not a success and Bakshi failed to return to complete the announced second part of the story

Mar 18, 2001Haunted Hotel/Cabin Fever/Stephen King Adaptation
Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's novel throws much of the book out but has duly become a classic. Jack Nicholson goes grandly mad amid Kubrick's stupendous production and unsettling set-pieces
