Eyes Wide Shut is my absolute favourite of his films. It feels more relevant today than it did when it was released. It has so many layers, and the story that we think is the story is actually the sub plot to what Kubrick is trying to tell us. Love it.
he didnt break his leg....he faked breaking his leg so that he wouldnt have to do another role he was burnt out and thank god, because slim was brilliant
@@thewkovacs316 yeah, it’s hard to remember some of these stories sometimes, but I read on wiki just now that sprained his ankle while preparing for the King role, but Slim Pickens was the best actor for the part. Who could imagine anybody but Slim in that final drop scene. Slim and Kubrick showed how insane WWIII would be if the bond ever dropped.

Great ranking, I did a similar video a couple of months ago on my channel and clockwork Orange was my number one. I don’t have the entire filmography like you do.👍
Thank you. I love A Clockwork Orange as well, great choice! I don’t collect directors as much as I used to, but Stanley Kubrick was must for me. I’ll check out your video later tonight and leave a comment, I’m not at home right now.
I haven't seen a lot of these but my favourites would be: 1) Full Metal Jacket, 2) A Clockwork Orange, 3) The Shining, 4) Barry Lyndon, 5) Eyes Wide Shut, 6) Spartacus, 7) 2001 "Full Metal Jacket" and "A Clockwork Orange" are both excellent movies imo. "The Shining" is very good but I don't rate it as highly as most people seem to. "Barry Lyndon" and "Eyes Wide Shut" are both good but I've only seen them once each and want to watch them again. "Spartacus" is good and a bit of a classic but it's never been one of my favourites. I've only seen "2001" once and I hated it...but I was a kid at the time and probably expecting something more akin to "Star Wars" 🤣I definitely need to watch that one again ! Kubrick does make re-watchable movies !
Excellent! I think many will agree with my #1, but some film students and filmmakers might say two of the films should be 1 and 2 just for their visuals, can you guess what those two films are?
@@filmaddiction26 close, A Clockwork Orange is awesome, but I was thinking of Barry Lyndon and 2001. Because those two movies are known mostly for their visuals and how Kubrick used new or rare lenses to make them look unique.
@@filmaddiction26 yes, Barry Lyndon has had to grow on me over the years and I appreciate it more every time I see it. It’s really the only movie that I would upgrade to 4K if Criterion were to re-release it, because the visuals are the part that I like the most about it. Kubrick didn’t use any artificial lighting for the movie, only daylight and candlelight.
I'll admit, I've only seen 6 of his films, I didn't like Eyes Wide Shut, I rank it as one of the weaker ones, the other 5 I've watched, my # 1 is Full Metal Jacket, then The Shining, then Clockwork Orange, and the other 2 on the list I would put as great, but not quite masterpieces like other people would, the 4th one is 2001, A Space Odyssey, and then # 5 is Dr. Strangelove, but I think those are often the obvious choices, so many people have those 5 that we both listed in the top 5 in their top 100, and so I imagine the top 5 is probably the obvious choice, I have yet to see the other films, but it's unlikely they'll be ranked as high.
No actors have ever complained about Kubrick. They’ve generally been effusive in their praise. The whole “Kubrick didn’t work well with actors” thing is a myth.
@@Tolstoy111 I was never on the film sets, but when I Googled Have any actors ever complained about Stanley Kubrick? Shelley Duvall and Tim Colceri (Full Metal Jacket) are the first two things that pull up and if you look at Scatman Crothers on The Shining making of he clearly looks shaken after several takes.
@@excelsiormoviereviews Lee Unkrich recently wrote a massive book on The Shining and spent an entire day with Shelley Duvall. She vehemently denied any mistreatment by Kubrick. She should be the last word on this. It was grotesque rumors spurred on by Dr Phil. Tim Colceri was upset because he lost a part. That’s not about working with Kubrick per se. And it was clearly the right choice. As for Scatman Crothers, the guy simply couldn’t remember his lines. It was a long scene to begin with so it took a lot of takes to get all of his lines out. And subsequently Scatman never said anything negative about working with Kubrick.

Yes, it’s certainly grown on me, quite memorable.
Respect 👌🏻 the shining no 1 absolute masterpiece in filmmaking 🎥👌🏻
Thanks. Yes, it’s the most memorable and has haunted me since I was a kid for sure.
too bad that it cut out the reason for why king wrote the novel
Correction: Peter Sellers only played 3 roles in Dr. Strangelove, but he was going to play the Slim Pickens role.
he didnt break his leg....he faked breaking his leg so that he wouldnt have to do another role
he was burnt out
and thank god, because slim was brilliant

Yes, 2001 is very slow-paced and, like Barry Lyndon, Eyes Wide Shut and Spartacus, it had to grow on me.
Need to step up my Stanley Kubrick watching. Great List. 💯 Percent agree on your number 1 of course.

i believe that paths of glory was his best film
it might also be douglas' best film
Yes, Kirk Douglas was so great in that one.

Yes, that’s an outstanding top 5. I agree, I hated Eyes Wide Shut the first time I saw it, but it keeps growing on me though.
