2001: A Perfect Odyssey. Everything about that movie is, essentially, perfect for my tastes. In fact, I'm listening to the soundtrack as I type this.

| I haven't seen all of them, only 3 if I remember correctly. So far, 2001 is my favorite. Gotta love Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite. |

| Without a doubt "The Shinning." Not only is it my favorite Kubrick film, but it's also by far the greatest horror movie of all time imo. |

as wonderful as all his films were, at the end of the day I think Paths of Glory has few rivals |

I've only seen Dr Strangelove, Full Metal Jacket and The Shining. So out of those three...my vote goes to Dr Strangelove! Great movie. I really do have to get around to seeing 2001 and A Clockwork Orange |

Bolshy Great Yarblockos to thee and thine! Do watch that Dim! We sat in the Korova Milkbar making up our rassodocks what to do with the evening. We were drinking Moloko Vellocet that would sharpen us up for the old.... ultra violence.
yes i am a closet Clockwork Orange addict. Now you know the truth. -------------

The Shining is my favorite movie of all time. Personal preference aside though, I think Barry Lyndon is technically his best film.

I'll have to go for The Shining. I've always loved that film.
There's a few gems there, Full Metal Jacket and 2001 most notably. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Shining, 2001 and Frantic (not on the list )

That's probably because it's a Polanski movie.  Anyway, Eyes Wide Shut for me. |

Dr. Strangelove, one of my all-time favorites.

| 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. |

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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/moe_blunts/?chartstyle=minimalDarkRecent">

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.) ------------- Music is some kind of art. -- Anonymous |

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. |
