Fear and Desire (1953)

Director Stanley Kubrick's first real film (he came from the world of photography and had made a couple of documentary shorts before this) 'Fear & Desire' tells the story of a small group of solders whose plane crashes 6 miles into enemy territory and their efforts to make it to safety, and maybe take out an enemy general while they do so. Heavy on the allegory and style and kind of pretentious Kubrick was later reportedly embarrassed by this very cheaply done movie, yet there is also some good stuff here and it's kind of endearing to practically watch the director learning. Only about an hour in length so worth seeing if your fan. **
