The Killing (1956)

About a week behind on this post. With some family in town we pulled this one off the movie shelf. Probably my favorite movie from 2008, this classic Stanley Kubrick was one of the first non-sequential films. Considered to confusing for audiences in the 50's it did poorly at the box office. Kubrick was asked to re-edit sequentially, but after he hated the product he went back to the original. Winner of no awards it was overlook, and it wasn't until Kubrick's Paths of Glory and Spartacus that people started to look back at this film and realize just how good it was.

One of the few movies good enough to hold my attention enough to not pause or even look at the runtime to see how much longer was left. I was completely engrossed and still loved it after a 2nd watch.

As we are all familiar with non-sequential films now, you know just how much you can get out of it after repeat viewings. Just a great film, check this one out.
