2001 is a masterpiece. A bit obtuse, maybe, for those who don't get it. Call it metaphor as art.I hated EWS with a passion. This was from the same guy who gave us A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and SPARTACUS and PATHS OF GLORY and possibly the greatest film of the 1960s - DR. STRANGELOVE? I'm a huge Kubrick fan but his swan song was probably his least film. EWS isn't terrible, except by the ultra-high standards that Kubrick usually operated at.
I first saw A CLOCKWORK ORANGE in a double-bill with FAT CITY. How's that for a strange combo? (FAT CITY starred Stacy Keach and was one of John Houston's lesser efforts, although a very good film.)
