3. Kubrick's most-popular films (updated stats from top-250 list).

........................................................................................................................................

Since TDG is an experimental message board "webzine", we will try this, and see if it works:
Each of the above "7 content items" will be listed BELOW as separate posts, therefore, you can respond to each section at will. Think of it as a mini-me message board, or, a message board within a message board, This has never been done before, so we'll see? I just think putting all these sections in one long post would be too much, and in this way, dee items would be easier to find. Besides, some items are very short. It's easier to read this way - again, we'll see? OK?

Please remember to vote for as many Kubrick films as possible.... if, you've seen them all, then go and vote for all of then!!!!!! Barry Lyndon is so close, and is my pet-peeve here. OK? Remember, you can only vote once for each film. The only exception is if, say, you voted "8" on BL, and now have a change of heart upon re-viewing it, you can then decide to change your vote to "10" - this way your score is now "10" for BL, AND NOT "8". Other than that, it is not a "vote & vote often" type-of-system. Just a thought here? OK?

Go VOTE, please...
