  I must've watched A Clockwork Orange 7 times before I was able to finish it prior to falling asleep. That's not to say it was a boring film -- I was really tired at the time. In fact, I would watch it again and again because I remembered enjoying it so much. Only each time I would discover a new ending, and realize that my previously conceived ending had satisfied me, but as adventures go, I was whisked into uncharted territories and a fabulous new ending experience was before me. I was hooked before I knew it. Especially once I got to the real ending. Thanks, Stanley. =)

  Someone might want to fix the typo about 1995's Killer Kiss, and since it's been shown on Turner Classic Movies recently, add 1953's Fear and Desire to the list.

  LACMA’s wording is very tricky here. They make it sound like this is the first ever American Retrospective of Kubrick’s films. I think they mean that it’s the first museum sponsored event with his family. Still, a lot of Media outlets are just calling it the First Retrospective – period.
  
  To wit. Other PRIOR “Kubrick Retrospectives”:
