Lolita

Stanley Kubrick's (also known for A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, & Eyes Wide Shut) 1962 film adaptation of the infamous Peter Ustinov novel Lolita.  An extremely controversial novel turned into a very sarcastic and entertaining movie.  The first half is extremely witty and really great, the second half is a little more dark driven.  Since it is such a classic you must see this movie, but go for this version and not Adrian Lyne's movie done in 1997.   It's really a classic!
