Don has hinted in many interviews that Stanley Kubrick is one of his strongest influences. I'm familiar with some Kubrick's movies, but not all. List anything you might have noticed in Don's films that might parallel Stanley's....
The ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey. More than likely influenced Don's Space Gate Room. Check it out! This movie is also one that keeps you pondering, just like that of P1 and P4.
I'm hoping some of you are Kubrick fanatics, and should be able to come up with some good ones.

Kubrick has some serious special editions coming out on Tuesday including a giant boxset of some of his best titles. Including 2001. I'm ashamed to say the only Kubrick I've seen is The Shining. Will change that, however.

Clockwork Orange is fantastic.

I've only seen some of The Shining & A Clockwork Orange. Good from what I saw. I want to get the new special editions of The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, & Full Metal Jacket sometime.

yes I suppose there is that. Not as bad a rape scene as the one in Irreversible though.

I will be getting 2001 and Eyes Wide Shut. As far as EWS, if you think that it sucks except the "orgy" (which I thought was quite creepy), then you are indeed viewing this movie with "eyes WIDE shut." It observes how a certain "class" of people have....well I don't want to give it away, at least one interpretation.
But back to the topic.
I just read that Stanley Kubrick did not complete College and had his first 2 movies funded by relatives. Sound familiar?

...the only Kubrick I've seen is The Shining... I'm thinking maybe the long hallway shots from "The Shining" are similar to the hallway shots in "Bubba Ho-Tep"

I noticed another parallel while watching OblIVion last night. The sound of Mike's heartbeat while running from the Tall Man. Just like that of Jack's, going into room 237...
