Best Kubrick Movie

[paranoid android]

Dr.strangelove for sure.

My vote went to The Shining. I was waining between that, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket and Lolita. Very very difficult.

while i love eyes wide shit and dr. strangelove, there's only one answer for me: barry lyndon

while i love eyes wide shit

Is that some underground scat porn Kubrick directed or something?

 

[alasdairm]

lol. freudian slip? perhaps. typo? defo.

[undead]

i'd have to say clockwork orange, because it was the first of kubrick's films that i really got into. it was naturally during my heavy acid using days that i discovered this film and being as into gratuitous violence (or ultraviolence) as i am and loving titties and all the other things that this movie gives it's viewers... i loved it from the beginning scene to the end scene. :D

full metal jacket was a very close second.

shining > FMJ > 2001

the shining was a no-brainer winner for me.

(i haven't seen the first half of that list...)

 

[alasdairm]

^ definitely see paths of glory and the killing.

A Clockwork Orange for sure. FMJ is a very close second though.

la..la...lalalalalaalaaaaaa...lalalalaalaaaaaa....la la la la

 

[tribal girl]

^That was the only one I was interested in seeing.

I missed it when it was on TV last night. Grrrrrrrr.

 

[captainballs]

Eyes Wide Shut is my favorite. I've probably watched it 20 times.

 

[tambourine-man]

Full Metal Jacket for me, with The Shining coming a close second.

2001 is probably the "best" of his films, but it's entirely too obscure and arty to be considered a "favourite".

OUHH! You're going to love love love it. Can't wait to hear your review!

 

[Finder]

I have always loved Full Metal Jacket but after seeing Dr. Strangelove, FMJ gets edged out.

 

[tribal girl]

OUHH! You're going to love love love it. Can't wait to hear your review!

I probably won't get around to seeing it for quite a while now.

 

[MynameisnotDeja]

I haven't seen over half those films, so my vote didn't really count but I voted Full Metal Jacket as its by far my favorite out of the ones I've seen.

 

[junctionalfunkie]

I chose The Shining, but A Clockwork Orange was a close second. I love Kubrick.

I have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey so many times while tripping that the film can now induce a psychedelic state in me on its own.

 

[GreatSpaceCoaster]

2001 by a nose. What a great question to wade through though.

 

[miasma]

for me it's Lolita, but i love a clockwork orange, dr strangelove, the shining.ry lyndon, 2001, killers kiss etc....jhc he made some great films
