Trying to go through his whole catalog. Just curious what is your favorite?
They’re all pretty good but Dr Strangelove is hands down my favorite!
Tough to choose just one, but as a die hard sci-fi nerd, gun to my head, I’m going with 2001.
I watched it last year and I can understand how groundbreaking it probably was at the time, but just didn’t hit the right notes for me.
It could be one of those things too where I’ve seen so many tropes and parodies of it over the decades, that it maybe took away from the impact for me.
Strangelove kills it
Kubrick Tier List
S - 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining
A - Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange
B - Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut
C - Spartacus
Not seen - Barry Lyndon, Lolita, The Killing
This is such a hard one, because he has so many S tier movies. In the end I would pick the Shining.
Barry Lyndon, The Shining, 2001. In that order.
Barry Lyndon holds up beautifully
Yes, I think if it were released now I’d still be impressed.
It’s a tie between Dr Strangelove and 2001.
Me liking 2001. Who saw that one coming? /s
Barry Lindon
2001
Eyes Wide Shut
I love horror, so the Shining is still my favorite. But he has SOOOOO many good ones its hard to pick a #2. Id say probably FMJ or Clockwork
Yeah FMJ is my fav for real and a cemented classic IMO.
Paths of Glory
Either The Shining or The Killing
if you go by rotten tomatoes score, oddly enough his best is ‘The Killing’ (1956) at 98%, tied with Dr. Strangelove. I had his DVD box set and it wasn’t included.
Nobody going to say Lolita?
I’ma be honest with y’all.
I don’t pay attention to who directed what.
If movie good, movie good. I only know director names because other people talk about them.
Hey that’s ok. No shade throwing from me!
