Thinking about Stanley Kubrick and Juvenile Justice reminded me of the very first film of Stanley Kubrick I had seen - Dr. Strangelove. I suspect that after seeing that film I probably stopped wanting to be nuclear physicist :)
Actually, that film was among the first English films I had seen, thanks to Government of India. My father was among the last to be transferred who had to travel to US from India with his family by ship! The ship from Southampton to New York showed a film every day. So, I saw 5 or 6 films during that journey.
The ones I still remember aside from Dr. Strangelove:
Oh, a political thriller I found more thrilling than 7 Days in May: Costa Gavras' Z

7 faces of Dr. Lao - probably the only one meant for my age at the time.So, Thank you, Govt. of India!
7 Days in May - I liked Kirk Douglas a lot though I remember him most for his role in Kubrick's Spartacus.
