The Killing (1956) is this week's recommendation. It's a Film-Noir classic with the screenplay written by and the film directed by the great Stanley Kubrick. Yea, he's done movies I didn't like. But, I'm not going to mention those here...
Full Metal Jacket (week 130), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Paths of Glory (1957) are movies I liked in which he wrote the screenplay and directed. He also directed Spartacus (1960) which is one of my favorites. Yes, that be two Kirk Douglas movies...
The Killing is a film that epitomizes the phrase 'loose lips sink ships'. Doesn't matter the quality of the plan or how well it was executed. Oh yea, someone needs to tell Johnny to buy a better suitcase. Ah? Oops...
