Stanley Kubrick best film

[Smokey]

Although short, Stanley Kubrick have very impressive list of movies he directed. Most of them are somewhat controversial, but fascinating neverthless. I have a hard time choosing between The Shining and A Clockwork Orange as both are excellent movies. So will go with A Clockwork Orange as his best as that movie is very well known internationally.

Ranked by release date:

Paths of Glory (1957) : When soldiers in WW1 refuse to continue with an impossible attack, their superiors decide to make an example of them.


Spartacus (1960): The slave Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) leads a violent revolt against the decadent Roman empire.


Lolita (1962) : A middle-aged college professor becomes infatuated with a 14-year-old nymphet.


Dr. Strangelove (1964) : An insane general starts a process to nuclear holocaust that a war room of politicians and generals frantically try to stop.


2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) : Mankind finds a mysterious, obviously artificial, artifact buried on the moon and, with the intelligent computer HAL, sets off on a quest.


A Clockwork Orange (1971) : ForeverAutumn describe this movie as; "A Clockwork Orange is like a train wreck. It's disturbing yet I can't look away." Very well said.



Barry Lyndon (1975) : An Irish rogue wins the heart of a rich widow and assumes her dead husband's position in 18th Century aristocracy.


The Shining (1980) : A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past.


Full Metal Jacket (1987) : A U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow Marine recruits from their brutal basic training to the bloody street fighting set in Vietnam.


Eyes Wide Shut (1999 ): New York City doctor who is married pushes himself on a harrowing and dangerous night-long odyssey of sexual and moral discovery.
