Yes sir and madame, you heard me. And yes, I know there's a movie sticky, but I can't do polls there now can I?

I've only watched the Shining, 2001 and parts of Full Metal Jacket.
Suffice to say, these parts were enough to make me think the movie is awesome.

Aack, I dunno, when I watched it I thought it was thrilling the first half... but the last half was so dull, it was like reading a summary out of a history book. Barry Lyndon, on the other hand, had emotion and cinematography and good music.
Bitches don't get 2001 Space Odyssey anymore. It is amazing, and the visual effects for back then - WTF?! HOW! It knocks me into a coma.
However, I also thought Eyes Wide Shut was terrible when I first saw it. But it grows on you, I don't know why. I'm usually really good at explaining subconscious things, but not that. Maybe it is all the nudity?

To be honest, I don't get 2001 either. It's simply to surreal for me.
Also the looooooooooooooooong space scenes were impressive at the time but nowadays they aren't good enough to justify the long exposure.

2001: A Space Odyssey is unarguably his best piece, if not one of the best movies ever made.

Spartacus is one of his better known films, why isn't it in the poll?
Anyway, I think all of Kubrick's work is equally brilliant. I must've enjoyed watching Strangelove the most, but I don't think it's his best movie.

Voted for The Shining, but I've only seen four of his movies yet (A Clockwork Orange, Spartacus and Full Metal Jacket being the others). I guess I really should check out 2001.

Well of course, but after that you should check out Barry Lyndon.

Admittedly, I have not seen all of them, but out of those I have watched I found 2001: A Space Odyssey the most brilliant and awe-inspiring.

I don't think so, I once tried to put bread on him but had no success.

Yeah, a lot of people aren't afraid to say a lot of stuff. Doesn't mean it has any merit to it.

Yeah well, i can't imagne people liking to watch 15 minutes of a spacecraft docking on a spacestation and then use the excuse of that it's beautiful. It's space... it's a void for the most you see and surely it could've been fun because of the technology back in the day but as a film it's just a total waste of time watching it because there isn't even a story in it. (the film has no story... the book probably does but the film has none......)

Nope from the viewer's point of view that hasn't read the book it doesn't have any story whatsoever you're just like "What is that black gate thing?" ... but you never get an answer throughout the whole two damn hours the thing takes.

Eh, I thought that was Kubrick's intent, to leave things open and mysterious.

Lol dude, if you haven't read the book and then watch the movie it doesn't make any sense. And i refuse to find it good just because a bunch of elite hipsters says its good. What's the point in showing a movie without explaining anything and then give the sense of some big background story without giving an answer to anything.

As many other I have not seen all of his movies but I have seen these: The Shining, The Killing, A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket. I remember some parts of 2001 so I think I must have seen it a long time ago. Anyway I think Full Metal Jacket is best with the boot camp part.
