the greatest director in film history. everything he touched was fantastic.
here are a couple of nice documentaries:
everyone knows his famous films like The Shining or Clockwork Orange or 2001: A Space Odyssey, but his early black and white work is stunning as well and is only recently being dug up and revisited by film scholars.
the full movie Killer's Kiss. stunning black and white photography here, inspired by his photojournalism for Life
Here is a stunning and essential documentary on the history of American cinema with Martin Scorsese. there is a wealth of information on film and storytelling to be gained by absorbing these.
perfect synchronicity between two titanic pieces of art, the final Stargate sequence in Stanley Kubricks' immortal 2001: a Space Odyssey and Pink Floyd's first true masterpiece, Echoes (from 1970's Meddle)
