The 12 Months of Kubrick


If we are to believe the ancient Mayans and Roland Emmerich, the world is going to be ending in less than 365 days. With the apocalypse so close at hand it is time to reevaluate. It is time to decide what really matters and make every minute count. Seeing as we are Cinema Nerds, we have decided to dedicate 1,549 of those minutes to watching the films of Stanley Kubrick - one last time.

Watched end to end this feat could be accomplished in a little over a day. But where's the fun in that? It'd be over far too quickly. With doomsday looming, our focus should be on stretching things out and making them last. Thus we have decided to watch exactly one movie a month.

Jaunary - Killer's Kiss
February - The Killing
March - Paths of Glory
April - Spartacus
May - Lolita
June - Dr. Strangelove
July - 2001: A Space Odyssey
August - A Clockwork Orange
September - Barry Lyndon
October - The Shining
November - Full Metal Jacket
December - Eyes Wide Shut


12 films, 12 months! His filmography (minus Fear and Desire) fits the Gregorian Calendar like a glove! So let's learn to stop worrying and make this the best countdown to Armageddon EVER! And remember...
