    And No, I don't think my opinon of this film will change. As you can probably already tell, I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the most overrated films of all time. (Although the only person in the house who liked it was my father. This is because he read the books and saw 2010: The Year We Make Contact) Each scene was overlong and uninteresting(talk about patience!)

    I have to say it was directed well, looked stunning and was very innovative, but you need a good story to go with those visuals.


    I'm not trying to be patronizing, but you do get the story, right? Because its the greatest, subtlest twist of its time..
  4. I feel like HAL and the computer vs. man aspect of the movie is the boring part, to be honest...I much prefer the symbolism behind what the monoliths are, where they're discovered, and what happens to Dave.
  5. I agree with Matt. 2001 is nothing but a brilliant story in a great, shiny envelope, there's nothing bad you can say about it (specially if you consider it's like 45 years old)... Really smart argument, superb filming&directing job and subtle strokes of surrealism and hidden symbolism every now and then: what else can you ask for a film?
  6. Its also supposed to be the best film in the world to watch while on drugs.


  7. I'd also recommend The Fifth Element on that score. And I rather liked 2010, too. But 2001 - well, what's to add to what's already been said? A truly great film made by a truly great director.

    Well I want the film to be entertaining.
  9. Stanley Kubric is one of the best directors in history, and The Clockwork Orange is his masterpiece.
    Look at what I found in a store called PopLand, near my university, yesterday night:

  10. The killing of John Lennon
  11. Inception
