What is your favorite Stanley Kubrick film?

Definitely 2001: A Space Odyssey. A classic I could see again and again.

Eyes Wide Shut remains unwatchable.

My favorite is The Killing,and my second favorite is Killer's Kiss.

[quote] 2001: A Spacy Odyssey

Was that the year his cellphone got taken by that kid he tried to "help" in that park at night in London?

That WAS an odyssey... of sorts...

The Shining.

What about Barry Lyndon?

No Kubrick fans on DL?

None of them...

I would have voted for Barry Lyndon if you'd listed it. I'm just waking up, so I voted "none of them." I've seen most. I felt most ripped off by 2001, which I saw recently in an IMAX theater. What a bore.

A Clockwork Orange.

1. The Shining

2. A Clockwork Orange

3. Dr Strangelove

I couldn't get into "Eyes Wide Shut," but I think part of that was due to the oversaturation of Tom & Nicole at that point.

1. Paths of Glory

2. Killers Kiss

3. Barry Lyndon

The films for adults

Barry Lyndon

The Killing.

It's a masterpiece.

Especially this scene:

another vote for Barry Lyndon

Marissa Berenson in "Barry Lyndon" is so lovely.

I told my brother, after we left " The Favorite" that someone knew their " Barry Lyndon" - such an underrated masterpiece. The best performance of Ryan O'Neal's career- probably because he and Lyndon share many flaws. I love " The Killing" and "Killer's Kiss"- both are gems. And " Paths of Glory" should be shown in civics classes. It is hard to watch though. Excellent performances all around.

One of the three French soldiers executed in Paths of Glory is the same actor shown in that earlier clip from The Killing.

1. Dr. Strangelove and 2001 (tie) 2. Lolita 3. The Killing

Barry Lyndon. Absolutely.

But, no, it is not for everyone.

The Shining isn't scary.

It didn’t need to be to still be amazing

I absolutely adore "Spartacus"! For all its flaws it's the best historical epic film of that era, and a damn good film. Sure, Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis aren't the best actors ever, but at least the film is stolen from them by Laurence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, and Charles Laughton. It's thoroughly enjoyable.

Yes, I know it's not a "Kubrick Film", it's a studio film where Kubrick was a director for hire and not the work of an auteur. But I don't wholeheartedly love any of Kubrick's auteur film, I just don't think we have the same point of view.

The Shining scared the shit out of me.

I find it unnerving

I saw a different movie.

The Shining was delightful!

full metal jacket.

There was a great memoir published a few years ago by Kubrick's Italian chauffeur and friend. Lots of insights into Kubrick's working methods and a funny record of his many eccentricities.

The Killing, followed by Dr. Strangelove. Both star one of my favorite actors, big, brooding Sterling Hayden. 2001 has won me over, but it took a while.

I've just come to the conclusion that I've never liked any of his movies.

Oh, you

I loved [italic] “Eyes Wide Shut” [/italic] But I had to watch it a few times. Doesn't DataLounge love the idea that there are “powers that be” running the show, and acting in secret debauchery?

Eyes Wide Shut should totally be up DL's alley, especially with Nicole Kidman's final monologue.

I love Kubrick. When I was younger my favorite was A Clockwork Orange, and then as I got older I started to marvel more at 2001: A Space Odyssey. There's a part of me that thinks Barry Lyndon is his best as well and it makes me wonder what his Napoleon epic would have been like. All of his films are worth experiencing though. Dude was great.

Also, I'm not sure if that Stanley Kubrick museum exhibition is still touring. It was in LA back in 2012 and I know it's travelled around since. If it's still out there and near you I'd definitely check it out!

1) 2001. It took time for me to appreciate it, but it’s a fucking masterpiece.

2) The Shining. Not scary, just really creepy. And I love how he went out of his way to piss off the fans of the book.

3) Dr. Strangelove. Delightfully perverse little film.

I love Kubrick. My favorite is the Shining, then Clockwork, then Strangelove. Paths of Glory ties for all three spots for me.

I just watched Barry Lyndon and hated it. I usually like historical movies.

Like young Mr. Amberson, he got his comeuppance.

Lack of Barry Lyndon = poll fail

I love Kubrick. I picked the Shining because that's the one I've voluntarily over the years, but the rest run as a tie for close second. He was a master of cinema.

There aren't many true auteurs left, David Lynch and Scorsese are in that class. There are others that have a clear vision, but I'm not sure they've held true to it in the league of Kubrick.

A Clockwork Yellow should have been included

I love them all. But, Full Metal Jacket.

And, what I mean is FMJ is #1. My favorite.

Only the first half of FMJ has merit. And without R Lee Ermey even that would have been a bore.

How could you have left out Barry Lyndon?

R36 I saw the Kubrick exhibition in Paris at their museum of cinema. It was great. I still have this great book that was written for the exhibition.
