I went for Lolita, simply because it's his film that I enjoy the most (note: I like him quite a bit). It's def not his best film or even one of his top 3 films. It may be his fifth best film, but that's even arguable. Lolita is one of my favorite books, so it's obvious why I picked it.

The Killing -- one of the greatest heist films ever made! Film noir at its most hard boiled and grittiest. The cinematography and lighting is beautiful and stylish, showing Kubrick's talents as a photographer. The plot fractures linear story telling, jumping back in time during the robbery -- and it did it almost a decade before Tarantino was even a dirty thought in his father's mind.

Plus the film has Elisha Cook, Jr. and Timothy Carey, which makes it a must see in my book.

A Clockwork Orange 10/10
2001: A Space Odyssey 10/10
Eyes Wide Shut 10/10
The Shining 9/10
Full Metal Jacket 8/10

I've not seen Killer's Kiss or Spartacus in their entirety.

demers_60 · 07-10-2010, 04:55 PM

No hesitation for me when I say Dr. Strangelove.

LordoftheRings · 07-11-2010, 05:35 AM

"Paths of Glory".

lamphorn · 07-30-2010, 08:48 PM

Had to show some love for Barry Lyndon, but on other days, I will say 2001.

The_Basterd · 07-31-2010, 02:08 AM

A Clockwork Orange.

Fight Club · 07-31-2010, 06:31 AM

The Shining for sure its a classic
2001 was boring turned it off half way into it

sigill · 09-02-2010, 10:47 PM

I would say The Shining, the best horror movie ever made IMO. All Kubricks films are visually stunning though, one of the greatest directors ever.

lDlisturb3d · 09-03-2010, 12:14 AM

I didnt like 2001 ASO at all but i did respect the ideal and originality. But after watching A Clockwork Orange i can say he's good in my book for now.

WolfmanOz · 09-03-2010, 02:56 AM

I voted for 2001 as it was the film that introduced me to the power of the medium of movie-making.

Kubrick's output, in terms of quality, was astounding.

He produced the following:

A sci-fi masterpiece (2001),
A black-comedy masterpiece (Dr. Strangelove),
A horror masterpiece (The Shining)
2 war masterpieces (Paths Of Glory & Full Metal Jacket)
A social commentary mastepiece (A Clockwork Orange)
A costume-piece masterpiece (Barry Lyndon)

Add to that Spartacus and Lolita which I rate very highly.

You really only have left, Eyes Wide Shut (overlong erotic drama with moments but not adding up as a whole) and The Killing (B-grade movie that shows a real talent on display).

I've discounted the movies prior to The Killing as I haven't seen them.

newginafets · 09-16-2010, 02:13 PM

I just felt underwhelmed with Full Metal Jacket. So i'll leave that out from my choice. And since i haven't watched everything from Kubrick, so far id pick The Shining.

Al_The_Strange · 09-16-2010, 03:05 PM

"A Clockwork Orange" FTW! I love its imagery, its story, characters, themes; it's all very rich!

Almost picked "The Shining" though; that is one creepy movie.

ChadFL · 09-19-2010, 02:35 AM

My top 5:
1. Paths of Glory (1956)
2. The Shining (1980)
3. A Clockwork Orange (1971)
4. Full Metal Jacket (1987)
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

[QUOTE=Sussudio;1643325]really torn...2001 is one of my favorite movies, but the shining is a very close second.
