believe it or not...
i had never seen the movie 2001 prior to today.
i remember trying to watch it years ago - i think i was high school - and was bored with the opening - which is understandable, given my idea of sci-fi back then was of cool aliens, and fast spaceships...
well, some time after i read the book, which i think gave perspective - watching it today, was such a moving experience. i can't even express it precisely in words. suffice it to say, the film is beautiful - and while, perhaps a bit cryptic, not as impenetrable as i was lead to believe...one of my favorites ever and i want to see it again...

I LOVE that movie!! If you like Kubrick's work, I also highly recommend Dr. Strangelove and The Killing if you haven't seen them yet. Great flicks.
dr. strangelove i've already scene a million times -it too is a favorite...
the killing? do you mean the shining?
No, I mean The Killing -- it came far before The Shining.

It's definitely underrated -- I think it was some of Kubrick's best work.
wow - haven't heard of that film - i thought i have seen - or at least heard of - all his films..
