What's your favorite Stanley Kubrick film?

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.

 

A Clockwork Orange is my personal favourite.

 

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.

 

I'm going with A Clockwork Orange as well.

 

2001: A Space Odessey

 

2001 for me as well...

 

2001!

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.

 

Dr. Strangelove is my favorite.

Dr. Stangelove. Greatest comedy ever.

 

The Shining. I LOVE that movie!

 

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

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?

 

A Clockwork Orange.

For obvious reasons.

 

Full Metal Jacket

 

I voted for A Clockwork Orange. It was that film that convinced me that Stanely Kubrick was a great director. It's so fantastic in everyway, and so striking. But the trouble is that Stanely has made so many great films, it's hard to choose which, but in terms of freshness, A Clockwork Orange wins hands down, in my opinion.

 

Clockwork Orange....Eyes Wide Shut is a close second.

I like clockwork because I got a chance to live in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire England (where it was filmed) for 4 months...so I have personal memories of the area I guess.

 

A Clockwork Orange.

1. Eyes Wide Shut
2. A Clockwork Orange
3. Full Metal Jacket

Kubrick is completely hit or miss with me. I either really enjoy his films (the three listed) or I don't like them at all (The Shining and 2001).

 

Full metal Jacket...

 

hmmm....

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is a War Room!"

or...

"My god, it's full of stars!"

hmm...

well, 2001 was a damn fine book also and I like the series, so I voted for the German scientist who kept Heiling Hitler. that's one damn fine movie.

 

The Killing. Great film. the others are all awesome as well but, I felt this one needed some recognizing.
