Paths of Glory
The record for Paths of Glory is clear: 36% across 73 head-to-head matchups, with no round offering a foothold. It's below average from start to finish. Kirk Douglas marching through those trenches is early Kubrick at his most furious — a film so angry about the machinery of war that it was banned in France for eighteen years. That moral conviction translates directly into voter loyalty. It sits near the bottom of Stanley Kubrick's 8 films on BingeBracket.
Synopsis
A commanding officer defends three scapegoats on trial for a failed offensive that occurred within the French Army in 1916.
The best round is the semis at 39% — and even that's below average. 38% opening, 39% semis, 14% finals: no stage of the bracket offers Paths of Glory a foothold.
Barry Lyndon is the film Paths of Glory can't figure out — just 20% in their matchups. Full Metal Jacket causes similar problems at 33%.
Stanley Kubrick's 8 films span a wide range: 2001: A Space Odyssey at 65% to Barry Lyndon at 43%. Paths of Glory sits at #8.
