Obivously not crap.

The only reason I started this thread was because I searched for it to post this!!! and found it didn't exist.

These 5 are also coming out on Blu-Ray and HD on the same day.

wow. that's actually a really great set. I picked up the complete Kubrick in shanghai for maybe 10 bucks, but those editions (the same white and blue boxes they've been selling in the states) are wont for more features. I doubt I'd get it, but I'm very interested in checking the other discs out.


thanks.

I remember "The Killing" to be a good movie but it is never included in any of the box sets?!?!

Neither is Killer's Kiss or Spartacus.

Killer's Kiss, The Killing and Paths of Glory are owned by United Artists. The set coming out is for the Warner Brothers titles. Spartacus is a Universal release and Criterion already put out a two disc edition years ago.

Crap for the set though because they didn't do anything for Barry Lyndon. Not even sure if it will be a new, anamorphic transfer or just repackaging the old one.

Not Crap for Stanley Kubrick overall.

NC, I love Kubrick. I would have been nice if he could have completed A.I. I'm sure it would have been a much better and different movie.

Steven S., I'm certain, was personally fucking with me with A.I. I had tears in my eyes thinking that the film was actually going to end with Osment beseeching the Blue Fairy for eternity. Then.....the worst ending in Hollywood history rears its head.

Kubrick? Love him. He has to have a better percentage of truly great, indelible scenes in his films than any director ever.

Desert island + Kubrick DVD box set = sign me the fuck up

Kubrick disowned Killers Kiss and Spartacus (along with his first - Fear and Desire). Don't think he disowned The Killing but there you are.

Earwicker's interpretation:

Kubrick (through Sellers) is alluding to the influence of former Nazis in high levels of the United States Military and Government.

Either that or Sellers was just ad libbing and Kubrick thought it was funny.
