Anyone like “2001: A Space Odyssey?”

[BadgerBadger92]

I have always been a Stanley Kubrick fan, and 2001 is in my opinion one of his best besides “A Clockwork Orange” and “Dr. Strangelove.” All of them get the same rating to me.

My favorite scenes are where the apes evolve to humans and the wormhole scene at the end (at least I think it was a wormhole)

Any one like this movie or Kubrick in general?

Oh yes, he was a remarkable filmmaker!

And I also like Barry Lyndon and The Shining.

By the way, by coincidence a friend of mine sent me a link to this clip about 2001 recently:

The Moment You Realize It's 1968 And That Technology Doesn't Exist
Quote: "It’s 1968, that ain’t CGI, the technology does not exist in any studio, and that's exactly the problem. Stanley Kubrick made 2001: A Space Odyssey without ever going to space, yet the astronauts who landed on the moon a year later said the film felt more accurate than the mission itself. Over 50 years on, nothing made since has come closer."

Some classic films that will stand the test of time.

2001 is a classic, without a doubt.

I also liked the 2010 follow-up film. It was fun and cleared things up to a degree.
It was of course not so ground breaking since 2001 was first.

Aliens (vs. Alien) got around that by being a different kind of a film. intense action vs. a great suspense film.

I loved that scene. I love the song used “Blue Danube.”

Not a lot of people know this but a lot of these scenes were filmed on Earth to save production costs.
