DEFINITELY 2001: A Space Odyssey. Because of that, I read my first sci-fi book (the novelization of the movie), after which I discovered Arthur C. Clarke (who did the novelization), his books, and the books of many other sci-fi authors. I was lucky enough to see it when it came out originally, so I have some neat memories of being in a big old-fashioned movie theater with a huge screen.

I love Dr. Strangelove and Paths of Glory. Dr. Strangelove is hilarious and the message basically has carried over into this day and age. Paths of Glory had so much emotion. One you didn't mention was Full Metal Jacket. Most people can't tell you what it was about after basic training. I despised Eyes Wide Shut. I find it funny the R. Lee Emery is now saying how Kubrick confided in him that he was pressured to do things in Eyes Wide Shut that he didn't want to do but Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman wanted. I hate Tom Cruise.

Dr. Strangelove Or How I Stoped Worrying And Loved The Bomb is my favorite Stanley Kubrick of all time all of his films are good Strangelove is one of the greatest's dark comdey staire films of all time it shows how people and how the president act during the cold war Seller's is a his best profmance besides the loveable, comical, dumbling, Chief Inspector Culsoue playing deulo roles is something not many actors can really pull off and he shows he can as The President and Reinford (I Think That was his name)

I think "A Clockwork Orange" is his greatest film followed by "2001" as a close second.

it is obviously, in basic terms my opinion. you do no longer would desire to agree, and that i could fortunately welcome a debate, yet it is how i've got faith. i could enormously disagree that Stanley Kubrick is, "truly..." the main suitable filmmaker of all time. His first 3 movies are truly undesirable, and his final six movies teach tremendously much no signs and indications of existence from his solid, or teach a character so with out any humanity you lose any emotional connection with them. 3 somewhat great movies do no longer make him truly the main suitable filmmaker by potential of any stretch of the mind's eye. i could say 2001 could be his maximum suitable action picture. it truly is a stunning artwork, different than that there is somewhat no emotional connection to any character contained in the action picture, meaning that Kubrick's message on the tip of the action picture is tremendously much lost because of the fact one is continuously asking, "Why do I care?" Oh, and Andrei Tarkovsky outmatched Kubrick in basic terms 4 years after this action picture with Solaris. Clockwork Orange claims to be a dismal portrait against totalitarianism, yet Kubrick makes his character so lacking in any elementary human emotion that the action picture seems to assist the failings it does to him plenty extra effective than it ever seems to be against them. An formidable artwork that fails miserably, regrettably. His final 3 movies be stricken by this comparable elementary situation. An lack of ability on the audiences section to shelter the persons in Kubrick's movies. His maximum suitable fulfillment is Paths of Glory. It has a deep understanding of guy's relationship to death, and an ever deeper, and extra pessimistic of portrait of the character of capacity, and the inevitability of corruption. Lolita, and Dr. Strangelove are great, additionally.
