@FuriousMachine I don't think I've ever walked out of the cinema due to not liking the film. The time I have is when it has been an audio descriptive screening, but then I did go back and watch the film at a later date.

I've been mixed on Kubrik's films, and the only two I've enjoyed are The Shining and Full Metal Jacket. I'm almost gutted I got the blu ray of The Shining as the 4K transfer is supposed to be really good. I have added 2001 A Space Odyssey to my rental list as I don't think I've ever seen it all the way through.

@JohnnyShoulder Yay! I'm not alone in not fawning over all the works of Kubrick I've always been under the impression that he was pretty much universally loved. I mean, he was technically proficient and all that, but I can't seem to find a shred of humanity in his movies.

I know how you feel about the Shining blu vs 4K. I'm looking in dismay at my blu-ray collection (which, admittedly, isn't all that compared to my packed-away DVD collection) wondering if I can justify double-dipping into the 4K versions of them (knowing myself, I probably will )

@FuriousMachine I've not yet double dipped, but I almost did accidently when I went to buy a film then changed my mind at the last minute, then realised when I got home I already had the film I almost bought lol.

I'm trying to only buy films in 4K I know I really enjoy and watch multiple times. So most of mine are film that I grew up with such as Alien, Gladiator, Beverly Hills Cop, Total Recall, Gremlins off the top of my head.

That reminds me, I need buy more Arnie films from that era as I've only got Predator and Total Recall.

@JohnnyShoulder @FuriousMachine I'd say I admire rather than like the majority of Kubrick's films, the exceptions being
