Film critic John Baxter recalled, “As early as 1966, he’d told a friend he would like to make the world’s scariest movie.”
Diane Johnson, co-screenwriter on The Shining, told The New York Times that Kubrick saw "a certain amount of intellectual challenge in doing a horror film right."
Warner Bros. was also keen to have him work in horror, having reportedly offered Kubrick the chance to direct The Exorcist...

He told The New York Times: "I'm happy with the picture. My films have all had varying critical opinion and it's always been subsequent critical reaction that settles the scores...the only thing I can think of is that everybody's always expecting the last movie again, and they're sometimes angry - I mean some critics are often put off because they're expecting something else."

#AClockworkOrange #StanleyKubrick #MalcolmMcdowell #AnthonySharpPaths of Glory (1957) | Well Take the Ant HillStanley Kubrick2026-06-11 | Did you know? The title "Paths of Glory" is a reference to Thomas Gray's poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard," in which the poet remarks that the "Paths of Glory lead but to the grave."
As the film unfolds, it becomes clear that the "paths of glory" that the French generals are pursuing lead not to their graves but to the those the enlisted men, send into battle for strategies shaped by ambition - a reflection on the true cost of glory and the lives sacrificed for it.
Paths of Glory was released in 1957 by United Artists.

Harris, who went back to Hollywood and became a director himself, directing The Bedford Incident (1965). Kubrick, meanwhile, remained in England to create Dr. Strangelove, taking his exploration of human folly from the intimate to the cosmic.

If you did it now, you’d probably be home by lunchtime. But it really reinvigorated my interest in acting, because every single time we did a take, I knew exactly why. He was really focused on little moments or even little gestures. The detail and the intricacy made me think, gosh, acting can be really fun."
- Alan Cumming on working with Stanley on his show-stealing role as the hotel desk clerk in Eyes Wide Shut.

#FullMetalJacket #StanleyKubrick #VincentDOnofrio #KubrickInConversation @paulking_tvDr. Strangelove (1964) | Hello Dimitri?Stanley Kubrick2026-04-19 | In 1962, Stanley Kubrick secured the screen rights to Peter George’s 1958 novel, Red Alert, a chilling tale of a rogue general and a world on the brink of nuclear disaster.
In April 1963, after an intense 15-week shoot, Kubrick wrapped filming on what would become his legendary dark comedy, Dr. Strangelove. A masterclass in satire, born from the tension of the Cold War.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was released by Columbia Pictures in 1964 and is available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download.
#DrStrangelove #PeterSellers #KenAdam #StanleyKubrickA Clockwork Orange (1972) | Try the Wine!Stanley Kubrick2026-04-12 | During filming of A Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrick used miniature microphones worn by actors to capture live sound. He was also a pioneer in post-production, utilising a new Dolby system to minimise unwanted noise and enhance audio quality.
A Clockwork Orange was first released by Warner Bros. Pictures on 13 January 1972 and is available on 4K Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download.
#AClockworkOrange #StanleyKubrick #MalcolmMcdowell #PatrickMageeFull Metal Jacket (1987) | Mickey Mouse MarchStanley Kubrick2026-04-05 | Joker and the surviving squad march through a fiery night as they sing the theme song from Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club.
Kubrick chose to end Full Metal Jacket with this hauntingly cheerful song - originally appearing elsewhere in Gustav Hasford’s novel. According to film critic Janet Maslin it creates, “the kind of heavy irony that would sink anyone else, and that in his hands becomes bone-chilling.”
A juxtaposition that lingers long after the credits roll.
Full Metal Jacket was released in cinemas worldwide in 1987 by Warner Bros. Pictures and is available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K & digital download.

Over 50 years later, one of Barry Lyndon's most prominent and talked about features remains the lighting. To achieve Kubrick's vision of vistas reminiscent of 18th century paintings, certain scenes were filmed only by candlelight using a special lense orginally developed for NASA.

@paulking_tv The Killing (1956) | Planning the HeistStanley Kubrick2026-03-12 | In 1954, Kubrick was introduced to producer James B. Harris, who had founded Flamingo Films, a movie and TV distribution company. The two hit it off and soon moved from New York to Los Angeles with the hopes of setting up their own film production company.
Harris considered Kubrick "the most intelligent, most creative person [he had] ever come in contact with", and the two formed the Harris-Kubrick Pictures Corporation in 1955.
Whilst in L.A, Kubrick came across a crime novel entitled 'Clean Break' by Lionel White and thought it was terrific. Harris purchased the rights for $10,000 and sought studio backing for the movie, later to be renamed 'The Killing.'
The Killing was released in 1956 by MGM studios and is available on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital Download.
#TheKilling #StanleyKubrick #SterlingHaydenA Clockwork Orange (1972) | House InvasionStanley Kubrick2026-03-05 | The home of Mr. & Mrs. Alexander in A Clockwork Orange was filmed inside the midcentury-modern Skybreak House in Radlett, Hertfordshire.
Designed by architects Team 4; Richard Rogers, Su Rogers, Wendy Cheeseman, and Norman Foster, who would later become leading figures in global architecture, the house was constructed between 1964 and 1966 and served as a dramatic backdrop for several iconic scenes in the film.
Whilst initially a symbol of the successful, sophisticated life of the cultured inhabitants, it later transforms into an uncomfortable space for the characters.
A Clockwork Orange was first released by Warner Bros. Pictures on 13 January 1972 and is available on 4K Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download.
#AClockworkOrange #StanleyKubrick #MalcolmMcdowell #PatrickMageeThe Making of The Shining (1980) | DocumentaryStanley Kubrick2026-02-24 | Stanley Kubrick's sets were notoriously private with few "outsiders" allowed to watch the master at work.
However, a proposal from his daughter Vivian, an aspiring filmmaker herself, to document the making of The Shining was an opportunity for her he couldn't turn down, and which gave the world a rare glimpse into his filmmaking process, and to understand why he is so often considered one of the best directors of the 20th century.
The documentary was shot at Elstree Studios and used as a bonus feature to support the film’s original home entertainment release by Warner Bros. Entertainment in 1980.
The Shining is available on 4K Blu-ray, DVD & Digital download.Paths of Glory (1957) | Shellshocked SoldierStanley Kubrick2026-02-19 | "Harris and I were looking for a story. I remembered a book by Humphrey Cobb that I had read when I was fifteen and which had made an impression on me, not because of' its literary qualities but because of the troubling and tragic situation of three of its characters - three innocent soldiers accused of cowardice and mutiny who were executed to set an example."
- Stanley Kubrick speaking on Paths of Glory in 1957 to Raymond Haine/Cahiers du Cinéma.
Paths of Glory was released in 1957 by United Artists.
#PathsOfGlory #StanleyKubrick #KirkDouglas #GeorgeMacreadyThe Shining (1980) | Jacks Interview at The Overlook HotelStanley Kubrick2026-02-02 | The technical crew on The Shining was surprisingly small, often with no more than ten crew members on the set at any time.
Such an economical production allowed Kubrick to indulge in luxuries like extended shooting schedules and high shooting ratios. According to Elstree Studios, Kubrick shot more than 1.3 million feet of film on The Shining!
The Shining was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on 23 May 1980 and is available on 4K Blu-ray, DVD & Digital download.
#TheShining #StanleyKubrick #JackNicholson2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | Anti-Gravity StewardessStanley Kubrick2026-02-01 | January 1966: Production of 2001: A Space Odyssey moved from Shepperton Studios to MGM British Studios in Borehamwood, where the live action and special effects filming were done.
For the shot of the stewardess appearing upside down, the camera was mounted to a rotating set and the actress remained at the bottom frame while the set rotated.
A similar technique was used in Stanley Donen’s 1951 musical Royal Wedding where actor/dancer Fred Astaire was to appear to dance over the walls and ceiling of his apartment, an effect achieved by mounting the entire apartment set inside a cylinder and turning the set while the camera remained bolted to the floor.
2001: A Space Odyssey was released by MGM to audiences on 2 April 1968.
#2001ASpaceOdyssey #StanleyKubrickKubrickian Student Film Competition | Runner-up Film | Ethereal Punch by Giovanni VernizziStanley Kubrick2026-01-27 | "My inspiration mainly comes from a quote by Robert Bresson that says, ‘I’d rather people feel a film before understanding it.’ Since I wasn’t able to create a solid story in three minutes, I thought it could be useful to play with images and everything they can evoke in the viewer. I simply believe that if one feels an urgency to express oneself and has the courage to turn that urgency into something concrete, the bond between these two things is the creative process."
Congratulations to Giovanni Vernizzi for their short film entry; Ethereal Punch, chosen as runner-up by the panel of judges.

#KubrickianCompetition #StanleyKubrickDr. Strangelove (1964) | This is the War Room!Stanley Kubrick2026-01-20 | Sir Ken Adam, designer of the iconic "war room", noted that the design stemmed entirely from his own imagination; “The vision of the war room was something that I purely invented because I didn’t have any real reference.”
After the release of the film, the vision of the room became so ingrained in people's minds, that Adam said: “When Ronald Reagan became President of the United States he asked the chief of staff to show him the war room from Dr. Strangelove…as he believed it was in the Pentagon.”
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was released by Columbia Pictures in 1964 and is available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download.

Berenson shortly received a phone call from Kubrick. “When he called, I was sick in bed with pneumonia,” she says. “I had this very high fever. I didn’t say much. He just told me wanted me to play this English countess in a film of a Thackeray novel.”

#KubrickianCompetition #StanleyKubrickLolita (1962) | Humbert Finds QuiltyStanley Kubrick2025-12-30 | According to the late Alexander Walker, film critic and biographer of both Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers, “One of the people Stanley admired unreservedly was Peter Sellers. First of all, Peter Sellers was mad. Stanley was in awe of him...he was always in awe of people who could give him performances that were not in the script, who could add something to a character that even Stanley had never anticipated.”
Lolita was released by MGM on 13 June 1962.

Costing £5,000 to decorate, Kubrick had to do this twice when he decided to do re-shoots weeks after returning to its original state.
The exterior shots of the block were filmed in Thamesmead, London, with the entrance lobby filmed in Tower D on the campus of Brunel University.

Masterson describes her experience of shooting with Stanley as 'the most collaborative experience I've had.' The scene was shot over two days, with the first day dedicated solely to rehearsals. Initially a single page scene, it grew to become almost five pages, with Kubrick continually encouraging the actors to offer their own ideas.
Eyes Wide Shut was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on 16 July 1999 and is available to on digital download & DVD or pre-order in 4K Blu-ray from Criterion: http://bit.ly/4fICFOM
#EyesWideShut #StanleyKubrickThe Shining (1980) | Grady | Youve Always Been the CaretakerStanley Kubrick2025-11-16 | Philip Stone (14 April 1924 – 15 June 2003) was one of the few actors to appear in multiple Kubrick movies.
Kubrick offered Stone the role of ‘Pa’ in A Clockwork Orange after watching his performance in a London play. Stone went on to appear in Barry Lyndon, and finally as the unforgettable & sinister Delbert Grady in The Shining.
Stone recalls shooting this scene with Jack Nicholson in the bathroom of the Overlook Hotel "50 or 60 times, always in one take. Then Jack Nicholson, Stanley and I would sit down and look at each take on a video. Jack would say, 'That was pretty good, wasn't it, Stanley?' And Stanley would say, 'Yes it was. Now let's do it again."
The Shining was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on 23 May 1980.
#TheShining #StanleyKubrick #JackNicholson #PhilipStone2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | Journey to the MonolithStanley Kubrick2025-11-09 | in 1968, MGM studios released a publicity brochure entitled "Facts for Editorial Reference", a detailed comparison between the 'fiction' presented in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the likely reality that these fictions "can happen in the next three decades, and, in the opinion of the majority of the world's leading space authorities, most of the feature will happen by the beginning of the next millennium."
The brochure included a section on travel to the moon, stating "commercial space flights for the year 2001 will be making regular scheduled trips between Earth and the Moon. They will be spacious, luxurious craft with all of the comforts available in present-day airliners."
2001: A Space Odyssey was released by MGM to audiences on 2 April 1968.
#2001ASpaceOdyssey #StanleyKubrickThe Shining (1980) | Heres Johnny!Stanley Kubrick2025-10-26 | Did you know?

#EyesWideShut #StanleyKubrick #TomCruise #LeonVitali #ToddFieldFull Metal Jacket (1987) | Marines HaircutStanley Kubrick2025-10-12 | On adapting the novel The Short-Timers into a screenplay, Kubrick described the process as "almost a matter of code-breaking, of breaking the work down into a structure that is truthful, that doesn't lose the ideas or the content or the feeling of the book. And fitting it all into the much more limited time frame of a movie. And as long as you possibly can, you retain your emotional attitude, whatever it was that made you fall in love in the first place."
Full Metal Jacket was released in cinemas worldwide in 1987 by Warner Bros. Pictures and is available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K & digital download.

Liz Moore, sculptor and creator of the 'Star Child' in 2001: A Space Odyssey, collaborated with production designer John Barry in the design of the Milkbar, taking as inspiration the furniture-sculptures made by British artist Allen Jones, featuring life-size effigies of fashion models, that Kubrick had seen in an exhibition.
