The late, great Stanley Kubrick earned notoriety for many things over a nearly 50-year career, chief among them the sluggish pace at which he developed and, most importantly, completed projects. There are a few uncompleted efforts we all know of — Lunatic at Large, Napoleon, and Aryan Papers being the main three — but there are, in reality, any number of half-thought projects he threw around at one point or another. (Not a joke: I would kill your mother to see his Beatles-starring Lord of the Rings adaptation.)
But even us Kubrickphiles don’t have a full grip on just how many stray ideas were kept inside his giant brain.

Here's an interesting and fun list that was recently brought to my attention. Apparently, director Stanley Kubrick kept a list of movie titles that he would have liked to one day turn into a script and possible film. The list he kept was called "Titles In Search Of A Script", and it was revealed by Kubrick’s personal assistant Tony Frewin. There is a bit of added commentary that explains where the titles came from.
Check out the list, and let us know which ones you would like to see get turned into a movie.
I Married An Armenian: Said matter-of-factly to us by a woman publicist. Stanley thought it a great title for a 1940s-style Warner Bros. musical. If Only The FÜHRER Knew!: This was a common saying in Germany in the 1930s whenever something went wrong or somebody did something wrong. Used mockingly with the eyes looking upwards.
