A bunch of great movies. Very close between Dr. Strangelove and Full Metal Jacket, but Full Metal Jacket gets my vote. Chilling, scary, sad, and a very realistic feel. Kubrick got some great performances out of the actors too. Vincent D'Nofrio's transformation is just mesmerizing.

Love all that I've seen, but 2001 may be the best movie ever made, and Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon and The Shining are among the all-time greatest as well.

To be fair, I don't see how anyone could rank it higher than 2001, Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon and The Shining.

The Shining closely followed by 2001. I think all of his films are great though. Haven't seen Fear and Desire or Killer's Kiss.

That's probably because it's a Polanski movie.

The Shining is my favorite movie of all time. So creepy...
Dr. Stangelove is a very close second. Love that film... "MIEN FUHRER! I CAN VALK!"

A Clockwork Orange. I've seen this movie at least 7 times and loved each progressive viewing more and more.
Dr Strangelove is a distant second.
2001 is definitely the most avant-garde of his movies. It's a very difficult movie to sit all the way through.
Full Metal Jacket's first half is perfect. However, it suffers from a lesser form of Stripe's Syndrome.

I'll say A Clockwork Orange but, all of them are nice.
(Fun Fact: Stanley Kubrick asked Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters to use elements of the Atom Heart Mother suite. Waters refused when he found that Kubrick wanted the freedom to cut up the piece to fit the film. Later, Waters asked Kubrick if he could use sounds from 2001: A Space Odyssey; Kubrick refused.)

Didn't Waters want to use it on Amused to Death?

I've heard a lot of urban legends surrounding Kubrick and Pink Floyd. It's said that he asked Pink Floyd if he could use "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" in 2001. Pink Floyd refused, but after watching the movie, they were so impressed that they decided to make "Echoes" sync up with the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite" section. Hence the video showing the song and that section synced together. I don't know if this is true or not, but it's an interesting story.
