Kubrick films are not for everyone , people do tend to find them really slow and boring . His most accessible films are " A clockwork orange , the shining , full metal jacket ". If you give it some time and patience you may grow into his films .

I love his movies! "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "A Clockwork Orange" are two of my favorite movies of all time.

I feel like the guy is immune to bad movies really. Every other director has screwed up at some point, but he hasn't- to my knowledge anyway.

yes kubrick films are truly one of a kind. i love them all for different reasons and therefore difficult to rank them top to bottom.

I haven't seen all of his films, but I love each one I've seen. I love Stanley Kubrick.

Kubrick is a genius. I love 2001, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and others. He is one of my main influences and the reason why I want to go into media.

Attention all you Kubrick fans in California, USA.
There is an exhibition of props, personal writings and ephemera on display in Los Angeles.
Sounds great, but I hope the props are more interesting than those in the gallery attached to the article.

I actually find (Personally) that Barry Lyndon was his best works, albeit severely underrated.

Shame on me, I haven't seen it yet. I'll watch it tonight.

Full Metal Jacket and Dr Strangelove are great. 2001 is imo one of the most overrated movies ever, Clockwork Orange is decent but also overrated and dated.

Dr. Strangelove is one my favorite movies. Check out "Stanley Kubrick, Director : A Visual Analysis by Alexander Walker, Sybil Taylor and Ulrich Ruchti" for some amazing insight. It adds a whole new level to his movies.
