And now? The movies awe-inspiring classicism speaks for itself! Even 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, arguably Kubrick’s greatest cinematic achievement and easily his highest grossing film to date, was initially panned and painted as a psychedelic novelty among the beatniks and hippy crowds. THE SHINING earned Kubrick a f*cking Razzie nomination the year it was released, and is now obviously considered, rightly, as one of the finest horror films ever constructed. Only after the fact, often years later, did the masses catch up with Kubrick’s sensibility and appreciate the sheer artistry of his filmography. And frankly, since LOLITA in 1962, pretty much every one of Kubrick’s films received moderate critical plaudits and tepid public fanfare. What isn’t hard to say is that Kubrick clearly favored quality over quantity, which is why the master craftsman only made 13 movies over his illustrious and unparalleled 50-year career. Has there ever been a film director more ahead of their time than Stanley Kubrick? Hard to say. STARRING TOM CRUISE, NICOLE KIDMAN, SYDNEY POLLAK, TODD FIELD, VINESSA SHAW However, as time keeps ticking, do those classics still hold up? Do they remain must see? So…the point of this column is to determine how a film holds up for a modern horror audience, to see if it stands the Test of Time. Movies we respect without question because of either tradition, childhood love, or because they’ve always been classics.
