So many to choose from. Most recently Eyes Wide Shut, Clockwork Orange, 2001, The Shining. But I think my favorite work he did was the fake moon landing.
Score: 0
I gotta go with 2001 although it is a tough choice to make. Everything about this movie is PERFECT. Maybe my favorite movie ever. Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket are right up there too.
Score: 0
LOVE Kubrick. Easily my favorite director. So many great films, Clockwork is among my favorite films of all time. The moral message, violence and society is poignant, blantant in your face. The cinematography is some of the best I've ever seen. Such a great great film.

The Killing and Dr. Strangelove are the two I watch the most. But 2001 may be his best.

Barry Lyndon tied with A Clockwork Orange

I can't say I have a clear favorite, but this blog made me appreciate The Shining even more than I used to. Some of it is just speculation and coincidence, and the dude's wordy as hell so I did a lot of skimming, but there's a surprising amount of stuff that makes perfect sense. The imagery that Kubrick changed from the book, the timecode information, etc. Worth a look.

@spaced - I stumbled upon that blog one time and found it very interesting. The dude's color scheme could use some work though.

The Shining is my favorite; 2001 is probably his best (although you could talk me into Barry Lyndon. Holy shit, what a cinematographic accomplishment).

Come and get one in the yarbles... if you have any yarbles, you unic jelly thou.The book was a great read after watching the movie first. Sort of like a director's cut, with fresh mental images of the characters already provided by Malcom McDowell & Co.

I refuse to watch A Clockwork Orange, because I just love the edge the book has and loved decoding the diction as much as the actual story, and was proud when I got the hang of it. It makes you a better reader/thinker...and I really don't want to mess with that special thang we got goin' on by watching the flick...It may be legendary, but I am extremely apprehensive to check it out.

I basically read about halfway through to get the hang of it, then went back and started again. Nice mental exercise.

@NigelTufnel - I read A Clockwork Orange in high school and adored it. I saw the film for the first time a few years later and was honestly not impressed. If I had never read the book, I may have had a different experience with the film, but as it stands, it's by far my least favorite of the post-Strangelove Kubrick films.

@MirthBeatenWorkr said: Best kubrick is paths of gloryThat film is a masterpiece. I think it is a better indictment of war than Full Metal Jacket. Although, FMJ is stunning. When that was new it was really wild.
Friends of mine and I rode our bikes for nearly an hour to get to the mall to see Full Metal when it came out. We were huge Kubrick fans and absolutely had to see it as soon as possible. Even the poster's tag line was pretty out there, "In Vietnam the wind doesn't blow it sucks".
It must've been a weekday we had off from school otherwise we could've gotten a ride from one of our parents, lol.....

I love how much work Kubrick would put into preproduction of a film. Sometimes it would take him years, one great example is when he was going to make a film about Napoleon, which was cancelled by the film company. He said that he had read over 500 books on Napoleon in order to get the film right.

Strangelove and Clockwork Orange are my favorites. Though I do love The Shining and Barry Lyndon as well..

"Eyes Wide Shut" to watch and "A Clockwork Orange" for acting out/role playing
