Kubrick also did "Spartacus", which starred Kirk Douglas.  Spartacus is the
story of a Roman slave rebellion.  (A favorite topic for Soviet socialist-
realism, by the way.)  This is a fairly early movie (pre-Lolita),
and I remember it as a well done pot-boiler.

"Lolita" is an interesting movie too.  It caught the flavor of the Nabokov 
novel quite nicely.  I think James Mason played the lead,  with Peter 
Sellers in a very odd role.

"Barry Lyndon" was a beautiful movie to look at, if nothing else.
