Wow this was on Instant Watch, so yeah, what a time to be alive!
Anyways, I took shameless of advantage of my Netflix account and rewatched it for the first time in, like, 3 years, and it's still awesome.

I saw the movie, I also have Kubrick's classic The Shining, and the original novels The Shining and Doctor Sleep by Stephen King...
This movie while actually being a sequel to Kubrick's version of the story still has a very Stephen King-like story pace and structure. And I can appreciate the fact that the movie must have been made by someone that is a fan of both Kubrick's Movies and King's literature.
Possibly the greatest science fiction film ever made, Stanley Kubrick's 1968 opus manages to take the audience on an intense, enrapturing 160 journey from The Dawn of Man to Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite, standing apart from every other entry in the genre to not only be a genre milestone, but a milestone in film itself.
Eyes Wide Shut was Stanley Kubrick's final film, and in many ways, his most complex and disturbing, being a disturbingly voyeuristic psychological study of infidelity and human sexuality and marriage.
It is often said that making a truly anti-war film is impossible. That in showing the act of war, we glamorize it.
Well, apparently Stanley Kubrick didn't get that memo, because Full Metal Jacket shows just how horribly unglamorous and inglorious warfare can be, all while filtered through an almost sarcastic, deeply impersonal filter.
Stanley Kubrick's masterful black comedy satire of the Cold War and the fear of nuclear apocalypse remains just as hilarious and witty as it was more then 50 years ago, remaining one of the best satires ever made.
