Unfortunately, I haven't yet watched Platoon and Tigerland, for I have never really been a war movie fan, perhaps with the possible exception of Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and now Paths of Glory!!! :-)Murtaza Alihttp://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279678409089205149.post-32180712681516666552012-07-08T18:20:38.180+05:302012-07-08T18:20:38.180+05:30Great review.

It's indeed a pity that despite its resonating power, Paths of Glory is quite under-rated.Murtaza Alihttp://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279678409089205149.post-23563760176719903182012-06-23T23:46:07.167+05:302012-06-23T23:46:07.167+05:30Firstly, thanks for the follow.

Even today, you will find very few works in cinema that come close to his cinematic masterpieces. Yes, you must goes ahead with Paths of Glory before exploring his more personal works.

Kubrick'...Lol! I take it as a compliment :-P <br /><br /><br />Kubrick's movies are timeless and one is ought to discover something new during each viewing irrespective of the number of times one has already savored them. So, I am sure that you will not be at a loss if you do plan to re-watch Paths of Glory.Murtaza Alihttp://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279678409089205149.post-18330035886639491212012-06-20T22:22:54.301+05:302012-06-20T22:22:54.301+05:30my favorite Kubrick movie...Murtaza, I need to hav...my favorite Kubrick movie...Murtaza, I need to have spare time to watch these movies and enjoy your reviews thoroughly.
