Your favorite Stanley Kubrick film

Poll question: Your favorite Stanley Kubrick film

[terrya]

1. "Lolita"

My favorite Kubrick film. Completely faithful to the book. Great casting...from James Mason as Humbert Humbert to Sue Lyon as Lolita to Peter Sellers as Quilty.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Absolutely.

Been my favorite since I was...14. :blush: seriously

[RandomKoolzip]

2. Poor Barry Lyndon!

I'm a huge Kubrick fan and even *I've* never seen it before.

Anyways, I voted for The Shining.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. The Shining got my vote as well

[sir_captain]

15. Fabulous film

Definitely in my top 5 of all time

[LynneSin]

3. Eyes Wide Shut should be on the list for WORST Kubrick movie

Cruise and Kidman have about as much chemistry together as peanut butter and rotting pickles!

[Lerkfish]

5. "Paths of Glory"

ya forgot that one. Kirk Douglas. Powerful, powerful film.

[NoPasaran]

7. That's my number two choice

After Strangelove

[Nosmo King]

20. "Paths of Glory" first, "2001: A Space Odyssey" second

"A Clockwork Orange" third and "The Killing" a close fourth!

6. 2001

8. You must see 'Paths of Glory'. Great anti-war movie.

[Felix Mala]

12. True, but Strangelove is the Ultimate anti-war movie...

I hate to watch the execution scene in Paths...

[quisp]

9. tough poll...

I love 'em all. Kubrick is great.

10. Heeeeeere's Johnny!

11. "I will not go down in history as the greatest mass murderer since

...Adolf Hitler."

"It occurs to me, Mr. President, that the American people would be better served if you were more concerned with our present situation and and less worried about your place in the history books!"

13. the shinning is a great film

but Strangelove has to win it...

[IntravenousDemilo]

16. Dr Strangelove

I recognize most of the film stills, by the way -- Strangelove, Shining, 2001, Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket -- but not the last one.

[brentspeak]

24. That was just a funny photograph

I put in there to confuse people.

;)

[dr.zoidberg]

17. It was a hard choice.

I mean I love Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket equally. In the end, however, I chose Full Metal Jacket because a R. Lee Emery. I just love the guy for some reason.

[NYCGirl]

18. My two faves are "Paths of Glory" and "Lolita." The latter is criminally

underrated.

[edbermac]

19. Can't do it; it's like picking your favorite child...

And the people who badmouth Eyes Wide Shut only do so to diss Cruise...a big boo to them...

[Nosmo King]

22. The pacing of "Eyes" is similar to "Barry Lyndon", but

Nicole Kidman's Valium inspired delivery drags the film to a snail's pace. Cruise has always been the 'actor' who learns a new trick; e.g. bartending, NASCAR driving, flying a jet fighter, and then shows off. Acting? WAAAaaaaay down the list of tricks Tom has learned.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

21. Very difficult choice

but I went with A Clockwork Orange. Depending on the day of the week or any other changing circumstances I could have picked any of the titles listed except Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut. Strangelove and Full Metal Jacket are pretty much tied for second in my mind.

[Greyhound]

23. Had to go with the Doctor, although it was a tough choice. n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Lolita

[Gildor Inglorion]

26. "2001 - A Space Odyssey" incomparable! A cultural event...

as much as it was a movie. Its blend of real science, science fiction, mysticism, religion, and psychedelia was both perfectly in tune with the era and far ahead of its time. Kubrick's masterpiece, IMHO!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. 2001, Paths of Glory, Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, Spartacus - all great

Any single one of Kubrick's films, including the incredibly beatiful and masterfully directed Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut (minus Tom Cruise) would have made any director's career.

In Spartacus there's supposedly a few scenes where the Hollywood Freeway can be discerned in a lower corner, as some of it was shot on the lot at Universal Studios. This is supposedly only apparent on the theater reel but not in the narrowed TV-sized video copies. Even the legends make mistakes.

[Nosmo King]

28. The Hollywood Freeway and...

Peter Ustinov's boxer shorts!
