2001. Not that it isn't a great movie, or wasn't incredible in its time, but it's just that the other two have more powerful messages than 2001 to me.

 

[6.8]

Clockwork Orange

Bumping this to the first page.

Spoiler

I wouldn't say the other two have more powerful messages, they are just more obvious. The "true" message of 2001 has and always will be open to interpretation, it makes you think. Thats what makes it a beautiful movie.

[VALIS]

It's like asking me to kill off one of my own children, and who could do something so unspeakably horrible?


...Except if one of your children is the brilliant 2001: A Space Odyssey, a work of unbridled genius that stands above every other movie ever made. So **** off, Dr. Strangelove.

 

[DieNgamers]

Good bye, Dr. Strangelove. (You should have been klilled instead of Clockwork Orange ;( )

 

[LM4sure]

2001. it still sucks really badly.

2001.

 

[AniHawk]

Shit. Tie game.

 

[Mar]

Strangelove.

Also, Shining should be allowed a come back due to it being the best film of all time. Just sayin'.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Time for Strangelove to get the boot.

Not that there was ever any way in hell that 2001 wouldn't top the list.

Strangelove. 2001 is awesome. really awesome.

 

[AniHawk]

2001 has come and gone, but I will always love the Bomb.

You maniacs! Why did you kicked Clockwork out?! Anyway Strangelove.

 

[Solo]

Dr. Strangelove.


It pains me that 2001 is going to lose though. Damn you, GAF!

 

[bud]

dr. strangelove

as for 2001, i bet it has a script of 30 pages or something, there's very little dialogue in that movie which is probably what makes it so awesome.

You don't get much more opposite than these two films.

Strangelove with its constant darkly humorous banter versus 2001's near silence and loosely constructed narrative...

2001 is a boring movie watching experience. Strangelove is a delight.

I can't shake the following: I can no longer remember how many times I fell asleep trying to watch 2001 before I finally managed to finish it, whereas Strangelove had me riveted from the first time I watched it.

That alone informs my instincts: 2001 should go.

Also, Peter Sellers FTW.

 

[syllogism]

They are both perfect but in the end 2001 is a more impressive achievement.

Strangelove.

Bye-bye Strangelove. At least you died at the feet of a god.

 

[TJ Bennett]

Dr. Strangelove needs some serious help to become the top Kubrick film. Just about nine hours left until the final round ends.

 

[japetus]

2001

I can't find any faults with Dr. Strangelove. 2001 has too many parts that drag on and I prefer the book anyway.

 

[CajoleJuice]

This is tough, but 2001.
