I'd consider 2001 my favorite Kubrick film, but it is also the only film of his that I've seen. Because of that, I did not vote in the poll. I don't think it would be fair for me to do so until I see at least one more film of his.

Haven't seen all of his films, but I doubt any would surpass Paths of Glory for me. Its simple and unpretentious storytelling makes it perhaps one of the finest anti-war films of all time. Kirk Douglas' character is the character that I can relate to the most out of the Kubrick movies I've seen, and his performance is very memorable. I consider it to be a personal favorite, but I also honestly believe it's the most well made Kubrick movie I've seen.

I voted for A Clockwork Orange, with The Shining and 2001 as runners up. I have a feeling though that this list will change, once I get a chance to see Dr. Strangelove.

A Clockwork Orange for me.

It was a split-decision between ACG and 2001: A Space Oddysey. But I went with ACG mainly because I can still enjoy it each time I watch it, unlike where my excitement from watching 2001 lessens the more times I watch it.

For me it was a tie between 2001 and Strangelove.

Eyes Wide Shut. Yes, for the nudity. I'm shallow and I fancy Nicole Kidman! tongue

2001 was an amazing book, that was supplemented by a crappy film, just a special effects showcase with great music. Which Phantom Menace... I mean which FILM does that remind you of? wink
