I liked this movie a lot better when it was called BETTER OFF DEAD (1985). The plots are different, but there are several aesthetic and thematic similarities.
A film that inspired thousands of people to make movies.
I would have liked this film much more, I think, if someone else played the lead.
Saw this 3 times in the theatre and each trip was even more affecting than the last.
Lucky to have seen a 35mm print of this recently. Went in knowing nothing and left amazed. Fantastic.
Top shelf Kubrick.
Laughable how ridiculous the hipster backlash has been regarding this movie. It's a fun, good movie that inspired more than one person to pick up a camera and make a film I'm sure.
A film that is relentlessly well-done throughout.
It's too early for this film to be properly recognized. 50 years from now it will be required film school viewing and will fall high on the list of the best cinema works ever committed to celluloid. You could say I'm a fan.
Visually dazzling but story direction gets a bit lost around the middle...
