What was his best movie other than 2001 and the shining?

Paths of Glory
His best movie without qualification out of the ones I’ve seen is Eyes Wide Shut
Barry Lyndon easily
Barry Lyndon is his best film
Dr. Strangelove
Neither of those are his best movies
Clockwork Orange will always be his best one
The Shining is his 2nd best
2001 is his 4th best

Nobody likes Full Metal Jacket? I feel like it is a pretty important movie.
I rewatched it yesterday and it really does get worse after the military training
Full Metal Jacket is fucking great. Top 3 Kubrick
Plebian of the highest degree
For me, David Lynch was right. Lolita.
OP here, i love full metal jacket but everyone knows that the second half is much less appealing and interesting than the first half
I understand where you're coming from but everything gets worse in the second half
The Cinematography somehow gets worse
The performances are worse because Kubrick focuses on the actors who aren't very good and R.Lee Ermy isn't there anymore
It's not as funny
It's just overall much more boring
Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut are his best movies.
kubrick lookin like a snack
Barry Lyndon was his best movie, everything else was pleb shit
>Clockwork Orange will always be his best one
cringe
>2001 or The Shining
>Kubrick's best

Do you suck dicks?
Mister Good Poster right here
One of the google reviews for FMJ that pops up for me says:
>Thr[sic] first act was truly brilliant. Everything after felt wandering, inconsistent, and inconsequential.
It is supposed to be a criticism, but I feel like that was Kubrick's intention. The training Joker goes through is so strict and intense and focused, that the war itself feels meandering and pointless - a bunch of disparate fights and weirdness.
It's his most interesting and well made one
It's the one that brings up a very interesting and important question
Clockwork has the best performance from anyone in any Kubrick Film (Malcom McDowell as Alex)
It has beautiful Cinematography and brilliant production design
The original music builds a perfect atmosphere for the film and it is very original
It has the best script out of any Kubrick Film ever
So fuck all of you
Dubs of truth
But seriously I posted these
You bring up a great point and I'll rematch it right now because of you user
They're all pretty solid (not counting the first few). None really stand out from the others.
Meh, I don't wanna pick one. There's barry lyndon, paths of glory, clockwork orange, dr strangelove. Those are likely the most serious contenders.
Nah, but it's the comfiest.
Eyes wide shut and the shining are his 2 best. They are also somewhat connected
I still don't understand what this image is trying to imply. Kubrick likes motifs? And..?
OP here. havent seen eyes wide shut yet, is it just a lot of weird sex stuff?
Some retard admin isn't allowing infobox on his wiki page. Sad.
>tfw precious bodily fluids
Am i a pleb for liking clockwork orange over hia other movies?
I dont think its the most basic answer you could give. Youd definitely have to be into kubrick actively to watch it so no i dont think so
Op here. theres lots of varied answers here but for me my favorite is A clockwork orange
EWS
No that's just 1 short scene
Fpbp, perfect, concise filmmaking
While it's clear he did that, I can't help but ask why would he. Literally no one noticed that, except the handful of people that went out looking for this kind of stuff. This changes nothing in the film.
>I can't help but ask why would he.
And that's why he's movies are good
To be fair, it's obvious he wanted to create a connection of the bear face and that elevator that looks like a face, but I doubt it worked. People probably realize at some level that the elevator and clocks are a face, but I doubt anyone notices, at any level, the connection with the bear.
By clocks I mean the elevator story indicator. I should get some sleep.
no
You're a pleb if you think 2001 is his best film though
Yes that average person isn't smart enough to enjoy his movies on a deep level. But they are enjoyable on a surface level for all the dumb rubes
I don't think a significant amount of even the 10% smartest people notices that tbqh.
This is why I'm never interested in talking about Kubrick with anyone. His fan base is a fucking minefield of lunatics and schizophrenics, even worse than Alex Jones fans.
>Clockwork has the best performance from anyone in any Kubrick Film
Sgt Hartman would like to have a word
I thought Dr. Strangelove was much better than both 2001 and The Shining, as was Paths of Glory. EWS and FMJ were both interesting but ultimately mediocre. Havent seen Barry Lyndon.
Barry Lyndon is up there with the better films definitely
>the IRL drill instructor was amazing at playing a drill instructor!
Wow Oscar when
His best is Barry Lyndon
Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut
Are you out of your mind, friend?
The second half of the movie is even more fulfilling than the first. It shows you joker on his path in the war up until the point where he gets the thousand yard stare which i personally believe to be a far more devastating and tragic climax than the first half. It feels that the point of the entire movie was to build up just for that final scene. If you don't understand this, it's ok, go read some books, get out the house, live a little, and you may hopefully soon realize your plebian tastes have been hindering you from ever even enjoying life.
Eyes wide shut is easily his best film and is the ultimate pleb filter
You're an absolute idiot if you believe this.
it's obvious the flap of cloth on the eyes are wrinkled from use and was unintentional.
amen, brother
I noticed it on my first watch, I doubt I'm the only one.
Felt like ages we had a Kubrick thread. Anyway Barry Lydon, Eyes Wide Shut, Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove.
This is the correct order:
>Barry Lyndon
>Full Metal Jacket
>2001
>A Clockwork Orange
>Eyes Wide Shut
>The Shining
>Dr Strangelove
>Spartacus
No others are worth mentioning.
Wish someone brought all these crazy conspiracy theories to Kubrick's attention while he was still alive so that he could confirm or dismiss them
Even if they were all false he still might have found them amusing
1.) Barry Lyndon
2.) Dr Strangelove
3.) 2001
shining and eyes wide shut are his best movies because he explains the moon landing hoax in the first and with the second he exposed dah joos.
fight me if you can, m4t3! xD
In the mouth of madness
In Full Metal Jacket and Dr Strangelove he exposed the military industrial complex, in Clockwork Orange he exposed the police state, in 2001 he exposed NASA and in Barry Lyndon he exposed the Eternal Anglo.
shit, meant to reply to
Ryan O'Neal was fucking awful in Barry Lyndon.
big yikes and back to /x/ with you
It's the best of his film performances by a mile, for what it's worth. I think he was a decent fit for the part, he projects an aura of stupidity that Redmond Barry needs and that a better actor might have struggled to make look realistic. Wish it could have been a real Irishman, though.
Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut.
Kubrick wanted Richard Harris but Warner wanted someone who was a bigger star. O'Neal had just done Love Story, so obviously they went for him.
Have you been goofypilled yet?
I do.
simply bravo
Everything he did was worth a watch, other than Spartacus, which wasn't fully his anyway, since he didn't have total creative control.
People don't necessarily know that x or y iconic film was his because his work was so diverse. He did pretty much every genre except for romantic comedy and all of them had a unique style.
>interesting
empty buzzword
I’d have to confer with Based Schizo Collative Learning
>Wearing same outfit
>Black vest and white gloves
>Wendy is not wearing these
>Same outfit
With how talented Kubrick was, I fully buy the theory floated by other posters here that this was intentional and a message about how war is a low quality let down next to training
And also that war is bad
It's narrowly about 'E.W.S. and the nature of 'EWish power at this point in American history
The man managed to get a movie that's a reversal of a film about a Jew being an outsider in 19th century Austria, throw in a bunch of stuff about secret societies and the occult, and then give it a name that's one letter off JEWS when abbreviated. He also said based antisemitic things during the writing process. Bravo Kubrick.
Why does everyone shit on the second half of FMJ? Its just as good performance wise, sure there was no pyle or sgt but there are great characters in it too.
>and you get the vietnamese hookers
Absolutely, and they come and go as did many relationships during the war (gfs father was at khe sanh)
I remember when I was 16 too. Clockwork Orange has done nothing in the last decade but continually slide down the list of my favorite Kubrick's to the point that I'd rather watch Lolita instead.
I've only seen The Shining. What is the next one I have to watch? Lolita?
FMJ for sure. You'll hate the second half too cause you're a disgusting casual.
>can't even spell plebeian
My friend made me watch it in high school. Very boring.
Yeah, the second half is where it stops being fun and instead becomes bad. They try to say it's because it good that it's bad because it makes you appreciate the first half more.
>it's shit on purpose
Bravo, Kubrick
I like the second half more. You probably don't even understand the peanuts outta my shit scene you filthy pleb.
Jesus you're fucking deluded if you believe this
did he ever make one original movie in wu h he did the script? or were they all book adaptations?
One of the few sane posters in here
Kubrick threads expose plebs more than anything. I love how assblasted zoomers get when they can't comprehend that people like 2OO1. It's better than having sex.
go on
jesus christ you're retarded
Barry Lyndon.
After that is Dr. Strangelove
most people are plebs and cannot understand a movie beyond surface level
A Clockwork Orange is one of Kubrick's most accomplished films and you can truly feel how he felt at ease and creatively free making it
2OO1 and Barry Lyndon take the lead as his most visually astounding works, but ACO is something like never seen before, with a very unique aesthetic that blends perfectly with plot and setting
direction in this film is perfect, it's eerie and discomforting, yet it draws you in that bizarre dystopia
also, as far as the dystopian future goes, you can see how different it is from most of the genre: dystopian movies are commonly filled with exposition and parallels to our reality, so that the viewer can understand it better and place himself in it. ACO is not like that. The world it builds is very natural to its characters, and we're taken into it by sheer force of visual storytelling
it is also Kubrick's most political film alongside Full Metal Jacket and Paths of Glory, and Malcolm McDowell delivers a god tier acting
but of course, most idiots who think movies are just dumb entertainment see it just as gory edgy violence made by a weirdo director
All of his films are good except Fear and Desire which is heavely mediocre
Lolita is pretty shitty, m8
