Kubrick's operatic exploration of the cosmos. Popeye Doyle in a commandeered car speeding after an elevated train. Jamie Lee Curtis' bare-breasted turn as a hooker. Alex DeLarge and his droogs on the rampage. The Man with No Name insisting a disbelieving gunslinger apologise to his mule. Sydney Pollack's glorious cross-dressing tale. And an upside-down Concorde outmanoeuvring the firepower of a military jet...
