The Shining - Here's Johnny

Another Kubrick classic, The Shinning takes a look at what cabin fever can do to a man. This is probably Kubrick's most commercial film, yet its one of his finest.

The Shining isn't like most suspense-horror films. Whereas, the traditional horror film, tries to scare you from the moment you sit down, The Shining takes its time. Some people (not me) might even consider the movie a little slow for the first half. That's the beauty of it! Kubrick takes the time to show the audience the monotonous of living in a cabin away from civilization in the middle of winter. There isn't a whole lot of excitement. You can feel how that could have an effect on the characters.

This scene is just pure JACK. He gives the scene just this great combination of fright yet you're really enjoying it. You can tell he's having a lot of fun with it. And of course, you have that iconic line, where Jack puts his face through a hole in the door that he just tore down and says "Here's Johnny"!

The Opening Scene of A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange, like most Stanley Kubrick films, is not for everybody. But if you are a true film buff, its a must have.

You could literally pick about a million scenes in the film that are hypnotic, yet terrifying. I chose this one because it sets the tone of what the rest of the film is about. Its a violent, sexual masterpiece.

Look at the shadows involved in the scene. The shadows make the thugs look like gigantic monsters. The moment you see that you know trouble is brewing. Look how unglorified the violence is as well. Its very to the point. Its supposed to terrify you, because this is something you could actually see in real life: young thugs beating up the poor and the weak, just for kicks.

The scene really epitomizes a lot of Kubrick's work. He is not afraid to shoot things that causes uncomfortable reactions from his audience. This is a sign of a true artist, that he entertains but is not afraid to challenge his audience. As a matter of fact, most Kubrick films that I have seen, I didn't like the first time I saw it. It really requires a second and third viewing to fully "get it".
