Possible spoilers:
What really made me consider this at first, was the way the classical music was implemented. The monkey scene, for example, was probably the best use of music in a movie (along with visuals) ever. Richards Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" really made the scene feel like a sense of achievement on behalf of the monkey, and the camerwork, in the way it was shown in almost slow-motion just made it seem amazing!
Another few scenes I would pick out with great use of music are when the space shuttle's travel through space. Normally, watching a ship travel through space at a very slow pace (lul rhyme) would be extremely boring. But everytime, classical music would played. "Oh the horror, the pain of it all!", you think. But I think otherwise, as this use of music made the scenes seem poetic and majestic. Stanley Kubrick is a genius!
Oh, I also forgot to mention it has a great story, also.... :|
Ok, I've put an arguement across. Now discuss.
