Lolita [1962] [DVD]
2.  Lolita [1962] [DVD] DVD ~ James Mason

Barry Lyndon [1975] [DVD]
3.  Barry Lyndon [1975] [DVD] DVD ~ Ryan O'Neal
The list author says:
  "Very sssslllllooooowwwww and boring. Kubrick shows contempt for his audience & expects us to sit through this. Well I did. Once. Never again."

Eyes Wide Shut [DVD] [1999]
4.  Eyes Wide Shut [DVD] [1999] DVD ~ Tom Cruise
The list author says:
  "The companion piece to Barry Lyndon. Just as slow but with even less of a plot. The word empty sums this film up better than any other non-rude words."
£6.37   Used & New from: £1.54

Paths Of Glory [DVD] [1957]
5.  Paths Of Glory [DVD] [1957] DVD ~ Kirk Douglas
The list author says:
  "It's good but not exactly something you'd watch more than a few times. One to admire more than love."

Full Metal Jacket [1987] [DVD]
6.  Full Metal Jacket [1987] [DVD] DVD ~ Matthew Modine
The list author says:
  "Very strong & dramatic first half. The Vietnam half is boring (& unimpressive if you've seen Apocalypse Now). Also the ending seems kind of random & meaningless."
Used & New from: £0.34

2001: A Space Odyssey [1968] [DVD]
7.  2001: A Space Odyssey [1968] [DVD] DVD ~ Keir Dullea
The list author says:
  "Slow & boring, but if you treat it more as an experience than as a film then you might like it. I love it to some degree. If you expect it to be slow then it's not too torturous."
£2.98   Used & New from: £0.55
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (209 customer reviews) | 7 customer discussions

9.  Dr. Strangelove (Collectors Edition) [DVD] [2002] DVD ~ Sterling Hayden
The list author says:
  "Not as funny as people say it is. Interesting three storyline structure (war room, army base & bomber). Interesting visuals. Very good but not great."
Used & New from: £2.98

10.  A Clockwork Orange [1972] [DVD] [1971] DVD ~ Malcolm McDowell
The list author says:
  "A bit too wordy & unsubtle in places. Overlong as well with boring stiff camera work. Story is so intriguing that it makes up for Kubrick's pretentious shortcomings."
£5.89   Used & New from: £0.92

Killing The [DVD]
11.  Killing The [DVD] DVD ~ Sterling Hayden
The list author says:
  "I was surprised to put this at the top of my list! Very confidently directed with great experimental fractured time line structure. Has barely dated in the places where it matters."
