Stanley Kubrick Hated The Wizard of Oz

Everyone loves The Wizard of Oz, right? The classic 1939 fantasy musical starring Judy Garland based on L. Frank Baum's novel has been a lasting part of pop culture for decades, but one of cinema's greatest directors is said to have loathed the film: The Shining and Doctor Strangelove's Stanley Kubrick, who would have been 85-years-old today.

As Indiewire points out, "according to his daughter, Katharina, 'he hated The Wizard of Oz.'" No particular reason is cited in the story for Kubrick's disdain for the movie.

And yet Kubrick loved White Men Can't Jump. Click here for the movies you'll likely be surprised to find out the late Full Metal Jacket and 2001 helmer did enjoy.
