My God, it's full of stars. (Off-Topic)

If you liked the style of 2001 - the excellent cinematography -slow, menacing shots balanced like the composition of a classic painting- and the feeling that you are more of an observer of the story than it being delivered to you with a bow tie on top, I highly recommend all of Kubrick's films.

The Shining has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. I've seen A Clockwork Orange but it's not even in my top ten. I don't think I've seen any of his others; it's something I'll definitely have to check out.

P.S. The Art of Interstellar beings with Nolan talking about seeing 2001 as a kid. He definitely doesn't avoid it's impact - how could you? I'm just happy we finally have something made in the last twenty or more years that can actually stand up to 2001's visuals. :)

I want to get that (I loved Interstellar very much, and am a huge sucker for art books and behind the scenes type things), but I couldn't afford it at the time I picked up the Blu Ray of Interstellar, and I subsequently forgot all about it. I did get the deluxe whatever edition of Interstellar, which game with a very small art book, and it's great. Now I need to order the real thing.

The special features on the Blu Ray set are amazing. Not quite as long or in depth as say The Extended Editions of Lord of the Rings (which will always stand out as the best special features to me), but it's pretty close.
