Stanley Kubrick: Essential Collection


Bob Mondello runs down the essential collection of Kubrick's films. A clip:

In addition to gorgeous remasterings of all the films, there are some nifty extras, especially in the "Limited Edition" Blu-Ray set, which has additional hours of interviews and scenes movie audiences never heard, including an audio-only scene that offers a few extra lines when Charles Laughton's Roman senator commits suicide in Spartacus.


Even the regular DVD collection has plenty to recommend it, like the story of how Kubrick cobbled together different cameras to do the supposedly impossible: shoot scenes by candle-light in Barry Lyndon. And shots of the huge cream-pie fight that became the most famous unseen sequence in movie history.
