Here's a look at some of the most essential performances of Kirk Douglas' celebrated career on screen.

"Paths of Glory"

Stanley Kubrick trained his lens on Douglas in this trenchant, fiercely intelligent career highlight, which remains one of the most blistering anti-war dramas ever filmed. Douglas plays Col. Dax, a military officer who defends some of his soldiers against charges of cowardice at a court-martial. The intense, unflinching depiction of World War I trench warfare remains unsurpassed.

The actor, as ever, brings soulful pathos and startling ferocity to a part one cannot imagine anyone else playing.
