Before the release of Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick gives us Lolita: a disturbing psychological romantic-drama involving a middle-aged professor called Humbert Humbert who meets Charlotte Haze.

The genius in Humbert... read more

"The book (1955): Like the previous entries on this list, Lolita the book was an unconventional in its narrative and writing style, since author Vladimir Nabokov uses a lot of puns and other lingustic tricks. The main problem, though, would be the subject matter: a middle-aged professor becoming a step-father to a 12-year-old girl and then becoming sexually obsessed about her. The subject-matter generated a flood of controversy around the book, including a ban in France. Is it any wonder the Stan"
