BAD movies by GOOD directors.

[RCMerchant]

I was trying to think of a bad movie by Kubrick- but I can't. I even liked BARRY LYDON and EYES WIDE SHUT.

I haven't seen it, but what about Lolita? It's beloved by critics but I've heard it was subjected to heavy censorship and Kubrick was unhappy with the finished product.

I enjoyed it very much. Maybe he wasn't happy with it, but I was. It likely HAD to be censored, because of the subject matter, and this was only 1962!
But he was an artist. I wouldn't like it if someone f**ked with my s**t, either.

If you like lolita have yoiu see poison ivy with drew barrymore?

No. I never cared for Drew Barrymore.

Well,  it has some similarities to lolita in some ways.

BTW yeah I always thought she was an example of a totally out of control Hollywood kid. I'm amazed she didn't end up totally fubared, OD'd,  dead in a DUI or in jail.

I don't know, man. Sorry, but saying LOLITA and POISON IVY are similar is kind of like saying CRIME AND PUNISHMENT and FRIDAY THE 13TH are similar, because they're both about murderers.

Yeh. I agree 100%. LOITA is a classic.
I always thought Peter Sellers was perfect for his role. He was creepy.

You know, I should add that one to my "guilty pleasures" list. I don't know why but I immensely enjoy that movie every time I rewatch it. I can't stand the sequels tho, which ironically a lot of people say they're great.

The closest thing to a bad movie Kubrick made was Fear and Desire. Even then, I don't think it's fair to call it a bad movie. Is it as good as his other films, not even close. It's not even a professional film by him. It was made in 1953, when he was still making a living  directing movie shorts and documentaries primarily.

Has a clean print of this ever been released? The only version I've seen had distractingly bad video quality.

Very cool! I'd definitely watch it if I got it as a gift, but I wouldn't pay $22.99 for it.

That reminds me of another of Tim Burton's films "Mars Attack." Despite all the acting talent in it, that is his one film I find unwatchable.
