A Film that has more than Five Words in the Title
Well, that's not easy. Hmm.
1. Eternal
2. Sunshine
3. Of
4. The
5. Spotless
6. Mind
It doesn't say that "of" and "the" don't count. In fact I looked it up and others use them in other titles. This was the first that came to mind without googling or anything.

Is this Kubrick's best movie? A savage political satire and pitch black comedy, filled with great actors playing vivid, hilarious caricatures to the absolute hilt. Who's better here? Sterling Hayden? George C. Scott? Slim Pickens? Peter Sellers? The scene where Sellers tries to calm a sobbing Soviet premier on the Hot Line kills me every time.

Date: 2020-09-03 01:26 am (UTC)No, I still think A Clockwork Orange is Kubrick's best film. It's the one that I find the most fascinating in its complexity - of social satire, political satire, morality satire, and coming of age.
Doctor Strangelove kind of goes over the top in places and lacks subtlety. That said, it is brilliant satire of the war film, and the whole arms race. I almost picked it but decided not to - mainly because I thought it was cheating googling the title, when Eternal Sunshine just popped in my head.
