The great and powerful Oz of directors, Kubrick foraged through a half-dozen genres — futurist fantasy (2001), horror (The Shining), social satire (A Clockwork Orange), the war movie (Full Metal Jacket), classic novel adaptation (Barry Lyndon), sexual drama (Eyes Wide Shut) — and turned each of them into a meditation on the futility of man's ambition. Except for Barry Lyndon, which came out at the same time but is sold separately, theyre all here, along with a slew of pertinent extras. One favorite: Keir Dullea, 40 years after becoming the old man in 2001, walks into a simulation of the same room, as an old man. It's a moment as enthrallingly creepy as any in the Kubrick canon.
