It's missing Killer's Kiss, The Killing, Paths Of Glory and Spartacus, but this box set contains Stanley Kubrick's complete catalogue from 1962 to 1999, a grand total of eight films in 37 years. But what films: Lolita, Dr Strangelove (included as a bonus disc), 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and, er, Eyes Wide Shut, precision-made movies that obsess over war, technology and the black stains on the human soul. Watch them carefully and you'll see they also contain more humanity than this "cold, clinical" director is ever given credit for, with the marvellous Barry Lyndon, in particular, pulsing with emotion.

DVD Extras:

Trailers, Making Of The Shining, Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures.Not quite the bumper features package we may have hoped for, perhaps, but then Kubrick was never one to give too much away. That said, The Making Of The Shining is fascinating - it was shot on set by Kubrick's then 17-year-old daughter Vivian - and the Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures documentary is first-rate. Moving chronologically through the great man's career, it's packed with info and insight, and even includes never-seen-before footage from both Kubrick's childhood and Fear And Desire, his long-unavailable debut feature.
