Tough one. I went with 2001, but I seriously considered Strangelove, and gave passing thought to both Spartacus and Full Metal Jacket. Paths of Glory and The Killing are both excellent, as well.

 

I actually went and checked Imdb before voting, because I couldn't believe he did nothing between FMJ and Eyes Wide Shut.

Dr. Strangelove and Paths of Glory are his two best films, but every one of his films is brilliant, IMO. My favorite film director, by far. I voted for Dr. Strangelove.

 

Note: I don't think Fear and Desire shouldn't be listed. It's Kubrick's equivalent of a student film and he pretty much disowned it. I saw it years ago and I don't blame him.

I've seen every movie listed from Dr. Strangelove on, except Full Metal Jacket which I really have no interest in.

 

As GREAT and groundbreaking as 2001 is, I had to choose The Shining. The Shining is my favorite horror movie of all time. I find there are precious few really high quality horror movies that actually have an interesting story, and that one is the best of the best.

 

A Clockwork Orange, while undoubtedly brilliantly made, is just too disturbing for me to watch. I've seen it a couple of times, mind you, but, well, I'll leave it at that...

I've always thought the greatest mind trip of all time was 2001: a Space Odyssey. It helps to read the books, though. That's where the genious of Arthur C. Clarke came in! yes.gif

Did you there's a film version of Rendezvous With Rama in the works? I read it so long ago that I don't remember much about it, but I remember it being a great book.

I'm surprised Eyes Wide Shut got a vote. I thought that was the worst one I saw of his, not that I've seen all of them.

I also enjoyed Eyes Wide Shut very much. Like most Kubrick films it benefits from repeated viewings.
