It was sent to us by Rishi Kaneria, who once did this awesome supercut of Pixar films.

For Kubrick fans, this is pretty great.

But he used it to provide all sorts of different subtexts. The website cites Abject Terrors: Surveying the Modern and Postmodern Horror Film by critic Tony Magistrale:

[T]he particular use of red as the keynote color in Kubrick's cinematic palette speaks directly to cinematic meaning: The color red underscores varying levels of physical and psychological violence present in Clockwork, The Shining and Barry Lyndon; forces the viewer to make a connection between HAL and demonic energies in 2001; and is associated with the carnal sexuality that is present in nearly every sequence of Eyes Wide Shut.
