Kubrick's films can be pretty enjoyable, but I really don't see them as masterpieces. It seems like he tried to be looked at as a genius. I always saw him as a great innovator in the pre-modern age of film.

Godfather is the number one film on my list of great movies I hate. I gave it a chance, but I never really understood it's popularity. The only thing I can praise it for is the acting, aside from that the story is dull. I can also praise it for destroying the mafia genre. Let's face it, Godfather has been remade and remade and ripped off countless times. I don't understand the thrill in it. I have been shunned by friends for not liking it. I must have a deformity or something, because I am the only one who hates it. Even Roger Ebert loves it and he doesn't like anything.
