A Kubrick masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odysessy changed the way that many viewed cinema. Written by both Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, it is wildly known as one of the greatest movies ever made.

Then again, it is just one of those movies that everyone has to see once. It isn’t called the greatest movie that has ever been made because it’s just fine. It is a nearly perfect film and one of Kubrick’s greatest works. So it’s no surprise that the greatest and most popular movie out of 1968 was 2001: A Space Odysessy.
