Lolita

I'm so iffy on this movie. Kubrick is a genius of a director, and usually I try to judge adaptations on their own merits but when you're working with a book like 'Lolita' you must take into account the original work. As A+ as the film is, it absolutely gutted the novel by aging up Lolita (thus changing the very nature of their relationship) and showing us Quilty at the beginning (eliminating a huge mystery source).
