2001: A Space Odyssey

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) - Apr. 1, 2008 (Third or Fourth Viewing +1)
WOW. I knew that this was a masterpiece and one of the greatest films ever made, but nothing could have prepared me for the awesomeness of seeing this on the big screen (other than the removal of the intermission, which kind of sucked). This is a monumentally great film, and seeing it in a movie theatre was amazingly hypnotic. I don't think any director ever has or ever will be able to so perfectly match visuals with sound; this is a mind-bogglingly well directed film. Stanley Kubrick is the master of cinema, and I highly doubt any director will ever be able to surpass him (though PT is actually getting scarily close). ****
