Named in memory of Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999), filmmaking genius, whose 1968 rendition of Arthus Clarke’s {see planet
(4923)} novel, 2001: A Space Odyssey, remains the definitive science-fiction movie. At least half of his 12 other feature films, from The Killing
(1956) and Paths of Glory
(1957), through Peter Sellers’ performance in the brilliant Dr. Strangelove
(1964), and on to A Clockwork Orange
(1971), The Shining
(1980) and Full Metal Jacket
(1987), explored twentieth-century culture in a manner that was unprecedented in its artistry and its longevity. (M 34633) _ _.
