Lets talk about his films and how they stack up to today’s standards. I think the shinning is his greatest work and apollo 11 moon landing was his weakest

HIs best work was in the 50s and 60s.With one eception - lolita. It's crap, despite Peter Sellers fantastic performance.

Anon10/25/26, 02:42No.223918117

the one where Peter Sellers plays 10 different roles.

>Kubrick made shelley duvall do 100+ takes just to make her seethe >Kubrick uses peter sellers' first take He was such an anglo-simp. Like a massive weaboo, except for the brits instead of the japs.

1) 2001 2) The Shining 3) Dr. Strangelove 4) Barry Lyndon (Yes, it's below the above three. Yes, I am correct. No, you are not correct. Yes, I was not filtered. Yes, you were filtered. Very, very pretty but it does drag a bit (Clockwork Orange suffers from the same problem, to a worse degree in its back half), that's the facts. Doesn't help that the MC is a dick although his Irish obviously propels the drama.) 5) Eyes Wide Shut 6) Clockwork Orange (toss-up-with PoG, really, a bit long after it knocks us over the head in the first 20 minutes) 7) Paths of Glory 8) Full Metal Jacket the movie that does drag in the back half, a correct observation made immediately by many at the time of release. Obviously it contains memorable things but it's among the weakest of his "real" films 9) Spartacus (yes, it counts, although he was a hired gun and it isn't "his" film). Some nice sets and a few memorable bits, but bloated Old Hollywood stuff. 10) Lolita (his dullest "real" effort, outside of The Killing if one wants to include that. Shelley Winters is just a little too good at playing an awful, unlikeable character and we practically cheer once she's dead. But that doesn't liven the proceedings much. Peter Sellers is amusing, and will become far more so again in Strangelove). 11) Killer's Kiss (A simple, early noir piece with a few nice moments. The best of the young Kubrick's earliest "student" efforts, he successfully declares, with this little picture, "I know how to make noir." 12) The Killing (All in all, a rather dull heist picture with a few amusing moments) 13) Fear and Desire. Woof! A horrid thing. It's public domain. Torture yourself with it on Wikipedia if you like! Everyone has to start somewhere.

2001, Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut are the truly great ones. The rest range from bad to just good.

He's just the epitome of subversive postmodern degenerate "social commentary" (read: propaganda). Everything he did was a soft dog whistle to throw off the shackles of conservative society and act like a selfish undisciplined douchebag.

2001 Barry Lyndon The Shining Eyes Wide Shut A Clockwork Orange Dr Strangelove Paths of Glory Lolita Full Metal Jacket is a piece of shit. Don't care about the rest.

Don't like or care for them. Movies for soulless people.

FMJ all the way, and fuck people who say the second half isn't great too.

Anon10/25/26, 05:41No.223920351

His black and white movies don't count, right? Because, uh, fuck that i ain't watching that

Anon10/25/26, 07:37No.223921337

Dr Strangelove is my favorite of his, and probably one of my favorite movies over all. It's a perfectly executed satire of cold war anxieties.

Anon10/25/26, 07:44No.223921396

2001 Barry Lyndon Clockwork Orange Fullmetal JacketThose are not only his best movies, they are some of the best movies ever made.

Anon10/25/26, 08:35No.223921748

>how they stack up to today’s standards By today's standards even lolita is a masterpiece

Anon10/25/26, 08:40No.223921794

one thing i never thought about is how many of his movies are adaptions of other books or novels like Eyes wide shut shinning clockwork orange etx Are there any fully original movies he made?

Anon10/25/26, 08:41No.223921797

paths of glory is clearly his best, and its one of the 5 best films ever made. the rest range from meh to great. not surprised that the rest of the board is full of plebs who either haven't seen it or think its somehow one of his middling films.

>2001 As an art piece, moderately impressive for it's time. As a film, dreadful. >Dr Strangelove My favourite of his. Practically every joke lands, satirically precise, doesn't take itself that seriously. >Barry Lyndon Very well made, satisfying as a period film though doesn't say much. >The Shining I don't particularly like it. The clearest example of Stanley threatening to say something but being too cowardly to come out and say it. Only functions as a solid horror film with good performances. >Eyes Wide Shut Same as above though in fairness he did get killed for this one anyway. I still enjoy the comfy atmosphere and the Cruise performance. >Lolita Terrible adaptation of a book that he should have known is unadaptable. >the rest Haven't seen yet.
