Kubrick...

[SephirothClone]

Which movie do you find better, Dr. Strangelove or A Clockwork Orange?
I love the both but which really grinds down to being the Better?!

Since neither of these are in theaters, I'll move it to Software before you feel Istagi's wrath (j/k Istagi...)

Why do you need us to tell you? Just watch them and decide for yourself?

Personally, I find that Kubrick films are so unique and interesting that, on any given day, I deem a different Kubrick title to be his "best."

For the record, my favorites usually fluctuate between (in no particular order of course ):

2001
Strangelove
Barry Lyndon
The Shining

My Choices:

2001
A Clockwork Orange
Dr. Strangelove
Barry Lyndon
Eyes Wide Open
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket

2001 surprises me with how it doesn't seem dated. Amazing stuff. Rather than droning on around each .. (my list order probably would change on what day it is) I'd just like to say a word about Barry Lyndon.

I saw Barry Lyndon mid-70s in an empty theatre. Pace of the movie crawled then and still crawls. Having said that - the movie should be seen just once for its lushness and style. The new remastered version of the DVD is a gorgeous print.

Dr. Strangelove is my favorite movie.

I still have not watched Barry Lyndon, Eye's Wide Shut or Lolita. bah... need more time in the day.

Given that, my favs so far would be:

Dr. Strangelove
2001
Clockwork Orange
The Shining

[Marq]

My order of favorite Kubrick films:

1. 2001
2. The Shining
3. Eyes Wide Shut
4. A Clockwork Orange
5. Lolita
6. Dr. Strangelove
7. Full Metal Jacket

still need to see:
-The Killing
-Paths of Glory
-Killer's Kiss
-Spartacus...must get Criterion edition
-Barry Lyndon (own it... GOTTA SEE IT!)

Of the two, I prefer A Clockwork Orange (my favorite from Kubby is 2001).

Of the Kubrick collection Ive only seen Eyes WIde Shut, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket. The latter being my favourite; but I do have the Kubrick collection arriving next week (prize in a comp.); so I can then judge. From what I have heard and scene here, I cant wait to see 2001 A Space Odyssey

[JayPea]

Ah yes, Kubrick. I miss that guy.

I find it really hard to rank Kubrick's films (the ones that I've seen so far)because they all deserve top rating in my mind. But if there was a gun to my head, then here is the way that I would rank the Kubrick classics:

1. The Shining (a horror masterpiece)
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (delivers a mind expanding experience unlike any other)
T3. A Clockwork Orange / Eyes Wide Shut (I really can't decide which one of these gems deserves 3rd place more than the other in my list).
5. Lolita (I was surprised as to how brilliant and darkly comedic this movie really was).
6. Spartacus (the REAL Gladiator)
7. Dr. Strangelove (simply hilarious. Dark comedy rules)
8. Barry Lyndon (this film gets better and more beautiful each time that I view it...but my goodness, 3 hours is long for any movie).
9. Full Metal Jacket (this was the first Kubrick film that I ever saw...I was 9).

I too would love to see his earlier films and documentaries (most notably Paths of Glory). As for the documentaries, I don't even know how the heck I would get my hands on those in the first place, but regardless, I'd love to see them.

Rest in peace, Stanley. You are sorely missed.

Ranking just those two, the nod must go to A CLOCKWORK ORANGE...

[Porkchop]

On the contrary, I think the nod must go squarely in the direction of Strangelove, the only Kubrick film I ever really liked.

Much disagreement, no clear answers! What is a forum-dweller to do?

1.The Killing
2.Full Metal Jacket
3.Spartecus
