@@chickenflavor9880 That's a great way of putting it. The movies almost go beyond what is generally considered a movie and move right into some other universe where the usual rules of film criticism and scholarship have to be reworked to even grasp the scale of what Kubrick accomplished. That may sound like hyperbole. But I can't think of any other filmmaker who did with the art form what Kubrick did.
It's so cool to see the evolution of Kubrick's films in their time periods. His first film was in the 50s, last on the 90s. It's crazy how much he saw change in the world during his career.
Ivor Biggun he acted really cardboard so when moments of tragedy struck, it comes off as unexpected and heart wrenching. Watch this film again then watch wolf of Wall Street. They both compliment each other
I love how you get all these astonishing, Iconic intros that are meticulous and captivating, then you get to the shining and, despite the jaw-dropping aerial cinematography, the titles themselves looks like they were slapped on by a late-70s amateur videographer working with VHS copies in his basement.
I saw "Clockwork Orange" when it came out. I sat with two sci-fi writers, one extremely famous and one rather obscure. When the film ended we all sat in total silence for about 10 minutes, just trying to digest what we'd seen. Probably the most mind boggling film ever. I still don't totally understand all the ideas that make up this film but I am sure it's one of the greatest ever made.
I think a clockwork orange might be the most effective opening shot in all of cinema. That sense of foreboding that hits you immediately is also present in the shining but that image of Alex is just... gives me shivers. With just music and that stare, you know some terrible things are about to happen. And you’d be right.
Diddo, Luke. ☺️😉 I feel the same about the Shining: the ariel long shots combined with the music & sounds SET THE TONE: Again… something terrible is about to happen!
i can't say i'm a true fan of kubrick's work because i haven't seen anything made before a space odyssey, but i can say his work is definitely some of my favorite. Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut are the only films i've seen of his, and they're all definitely in my top 15 favorite movies. For some reason every time I hear The Shining opening scene, I always pictured The Funeral March of Queen Mary from Clockwork Orange coming in during it.
@@DoctorPepper445 it's very cold and clinical in atmosphere but that's the point. The pace is slow and a very lonely isolated feel throughout the film. Feels like you are in space with them
I highly recommend Kubrick's older works: Dr. Strangelove is one of my favorites, and The Killing and Paths of Glory are great movies in their own right too (Although it's interesting to compare and contrast his older work with his later work as well).
You would think Kubrick would shoot the head shaving scene in Full Metal Jacket first, but he actually did it last. He made the actors grow back their hair, then he shaved it off again for the opening credits. You can see that all the characters look absolutely miserable, (which is expected for going to Vietnam in the context of the film), but it makes me wonder how much of that was acting, and how much was the actors actually being upset about losing their hair again lol
Made by the great Saul Bass and Elaine Bass. They were responsible for some of the greatest title sequences ever in the history of film: The Man with the Golden Arm, Around the World in Eighty Days, Vertigo, Anatomy of a Murder, North by Northwest, Psycho, Spartacus, West Side Story, Walk on the Wild Side, Nine Hours to Rama, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Grand Prix, Seconds, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence, Casino, and many more...
"Oh bliss, bliss and heaven... Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh... And then, a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now... I knew such lovely pictures"
Thank you so much for this upload. I can't believe that I'd forgotten that "Try a Little Tenderness" was played over the opening credits of "Dr. Strangelove." The irony and dark humor is so delicious.
Damn that dies irae in the Shining gets me every time, it's as if the environment itself is trying to warn the Torrances of the horrors that await them. But they can't hear it, only we can.. and we can't stop it.
I watched A Clockwork Orange for the first time last night and it's a great film, I noticed immediately though during the title sequence though that it had a similar feel to Kubrick's, The Shining at some points, I know A Clockwork Orange came out 9 years earlier but I still found it interesting
There’s actually reasons to this 1. The composer of the theme for ACO later did the theme for The Shining 2. Dies Irae plays a couple times in the ACO theme as a bg melody (if you don’t know Dies Irae is the main melody used for The Shining’s theme)
He was working on a holocaust film. But stopped production cause Schindler's list came out. He saw Schindler's list and knew he couldn't top the masterpiece.
There’s no topping THE SHINING & Clockwork in terms of opening sequences. Yes, 2001 blah blah blah is very artsy & quite the achievement in that opening too. But it doesn’t hit me the same way as how those two movies SET THE TONE in seconds!!!! And that camera 🎥 long lens work in The Shining 🤤🤤🤤 good gosh!!!! ((Sorry Stephen King 👑 I empathize how it sucks that most normal people like his film 🎞 better than YOUR book 📚 or that catastrophe mini series you did......but.......... It’s a “masterpiece!”
Jeez, the main title music from The Shining is terrible. It sounds like someone got a cheap synth for their DAW but couldn't play keyboards so they just plonked along one key at a time, adding in some creepy special fx from a patch every now and then. Hard to believe that this is the same Carlos/Elkind who did the soundtrack for A Clockwork Orange.
Fear and Desire was so bad that Kubrick did not want anyone to see it. Killer's Kiss was not much better. He hit his stride with The Killing. James Harris really helped him as a producer, plus Lucien Ballard was a good cinematographer. Paths of Glory was his breakthrough, a really well directed film in every way. After A Clockwork Orange, his films are not worth watching.
garrison 68 - "...not worth watching. " I beg to differ; that's going too far. But then I am a Kubrick fanatic. I even liked "Eyes Wide Shut" which was panned by many critics and most moviegoers. I would agree that his high point was 2001 with ACO a VERY close second (in my opinion). I think the most overrated was Barry Lyndon, due to the flawed novel he worked with (an unlikable antihero and equally unlikable actor playing him).
Barry Lyndon and The Shining are classics. Full Metal Jacket was the greatest half movie ever; only Kubrick could make basic training more intense than actual war. :) Not a fan of Eyes Wide Shut.
iha asc- Forgive me for being Capt. Obvious, but you're right about Full Metal Jacket and the Parris Island segment being more intense than combat. The most gut-wrenching scene was Gomer being silently and collectively punished at night with the improvised blackjacks (socks with bars of soap).
garrison 68 Fear and Desire isn’t so bad, Kubrick didn’t want anyone to see it because that movie was made by a team but they aren’t professional, he shame about it.
Let’s be honest. From The Killing to Eyes Wide Shut, every Kubrick movie was a masterpiece if not near
@@SheSaidSheSaid1966 they are better than masterpieces.
@@SheSaidSheSaid1966 didn't he say it was his greatest contribution to cinema?
@@SheSaidSheSaid1966 That is quite literally the opposite of what he said about Eyes Wide Shut

Kubrick’s first movie was Fear and Desire (‘53)
A Clockwork Oranges intro is so creepy. I love it, and its my favorite intro and film

Not enough love for Barry Lyndon! One of his best.
It is a truly sumptuous production but let down a bit by a poor performance by Ryan O'Neal, in my opinion.
@@ivorbiggun710 nah, he was awesome in it. I really enjoyed his performance.
Ivor Biggun he acted really cardboard so when moments of tragedy struck, it comes off as unexpected and heart wrenching. Watch this film again then watch wolf of Wall Street. They both compliment each other
Looks hella boring
A clockwork Orange is better tho
“There is me, that is Alex, and my three droogs.”
Stanley Kubrick inspired me to become a filmmaker with my wife and we created the company Fire City Pictures. It was a fine life. Thanks Stanley.
I love how you get all these astonishing, Iconic intros that are meticulous and captivating, then you get to the shining and, despite the jaw-dropping aerial cinematography, the titles themselves looks like they were slapped on by a late-70s amateur videographer working with VHS copies in his basement.
yeah the clockwork orange intro looks like it literally could've been made in ms paint
That's part of what makes it great to me. Nothing flashy or impressive, just doom
2001: A Space Odyssey is easily his greatest intro
That and A Clockwork Orange
And "Barry Lyndon" and "The Shining".
Technically 100%
But my personal favourite is Eyes Wide Shut
@@leno__jeno fantastic movie and very good personal choice!
A clockwork organe is easily the best imo
They are all amazing films but A Clockwork Orange is my personal favorite of them all.
The Shining, A clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon are my favorite opening titles
I saw "Clockwork Orange" when it came out. I sat with two sci-fi writers, one extremely famous and one rather obscure.

I still don't totally understand all the ideas that make up this film but I am sure it's one of the greatest ever made.
One thing is clear from this video - it's time to rewatch some movies
I think a clockwork orange might be the most effective opening shot in all of cinema.

man, every title sequence is so unique and different from one another
All of them amazing, setting the tone and theme of his films.
Great collection and editing! Kubrick is one of the greats.
thx!
Path of glory, the first real masterwork of Kubrick
No. The Killing is.
Spartacus put him on the map
Dr Strangelove too
Eyes wide shut
Vafanapoli that was his last movie lol
The opening of 2001: a space odyssey still stays the best ever!
i can't say i'm a true fan of kubrick's work because i haven't seen anything made before a space odyssey, but i can say his work is definitely some of my favorite.

I love the intro to A Clockwork Orange!
Dr. Strangelove had the greatest title sequence and it’s metaphor for sex and war(it’s obliviously an anti war film)
@William Brynn my theory is that they're either exchanging fuel or dropping cargo onto the other plane
From Lolita to Eyes Wide Shut, They are all masterpieces
I never fully appreciated this before, but the title sequence, especially the music, for Spartacus is awesome!
Made by the great Saul Bass and Elaine Bass.

By the time Kubrick made Dr. Strangelove it's like he became a different director, stylistically. Avant-garde, more experimental.
Thank you for this we can appreciate Kubrick even more 🙂

No tiene pelicula mala este director
Todos son clasicos
Es increible como Kubrick a experimentado con todos los generos cinematograficos
A Clockwork Orange has to be one of his greatest openings he have created!
(No offense 2001: Space Odyssey fans)
I love them both. No offense taken.
A clockwork organe is by far the best imo
A Clockwork Orange is easily my favourite.
what a genius, I love clockworks, the shining, Lolita’s and dr strangelove or how I learned to love the bombs intros !
After the KC-135 had it's re-fueling encounter with the B-52, both aircraft (carefully) had a cigarette.
Dr Strangelove ❤️ the opening is lovely, reminds me of the time i watched it with my love 😂 she isnt into classics but she just scooched next to me
I watched A Clockwork Orange for the first time last night and it's a great film, I noticed immediately though during the title sequence though that it had a similar feel to Kubrick's, The Shining at some points, I know A Clockwork Orange came out 9 years earlier but I still found it interesting

Clockwork Orange is my favourite Kubrick film but 2001 has the best intro.
Iconic intros but the one for Clockwork Orange is the most puzzling and shocking.
Dang I can’t tell which ones my favorite lol, they’re all so unique to that very film
Not enough love for Lolita, masterpiece
Boy Kubrick really liked loooooooooooooong opening shots to his movies.
It establishes tone and atmosphere, components that are becoming more and more lost in films today.
Good film 🎥 director.Stanley kubrick R.I.P.
Stanley Kubrick is a genius
I'm 14 and I'm watching A Clockwork Orange tomorrow, I don't know if I should be nervous or excited.
Side note: I've seen every Kubrick film besides that, Spartacus, and Eyes Wide Shut
Both?
Just came back here: It's my new favorite movie
@@ljack-dr7kx 😎 Stanley Kubrick
You would get more scared watching Eyes Wide Shut to be honest
Ayeee EYES WIDE SHUT BABY BEST OF THEM ALL
The Paths of Glory title with its patriotic music in the opening credits...boy does that ever throw you for a loop
_A RUclipsr: uploads a video using a few seconds of clockwork orange soundtrack_
*Serendipsh¡t LLC: wait, that's illegal*
Stanley Kubrick was a fucking god at opening and closing his films
You can not beat Beethoven
12:44 is when you'll start recognizing them all.
You should recognize all of them you cretin!
Kubrick missed out a lot on trying get his new film to be made in the 90's which he did in the final year of the decade before dying.
He was working on a holocaust film. But stopped production cause Schindler's list came out. He saw Schindler's list and knew he couldn't top the masterpiece.
The shining that Stanley Kubrick producer and the director of this horror film
It has just occurred to me that The Shining intro footage would work really well with Blade Runner's outro music by Vangelis
I mean ironically, you may already know this, Ridley Scott used this footage of the shining for the theatrical ending of blade runner.
Wendy Carlos did a good job but Vangelis is the shit
Stanley Kubrick never more
8:50 and 16:41
00:59 I think that's Penn Station, where Madison Square Garden is now.
The milk one reminds me of a red squirrel who fought a king
