+James Dean really sad to see that most people think it sucks just because they haven't understood it and everybody says it isn't as good as other kubrick's movies. nothing could be more incorrect...
arda yeşildağ An 8.5 on IMDb is pretty much "Hey director, you're movie should have a ten but we want to look professional by not giving it the high rating it deserves." So pretty much every Kubrick movie.
Huge Kubrick fan! Whatever order you have them in, they're all masterpieces so can't go wrong either way. Here's my top ten: 1. Dr. Strangelove 2. Paths of Glory (by far his most underrated; that final scene is gut-wrenching) 3. A Clockwork Orange 4. Barry Lyndon 5. 2001: A Space Odissey 6. The Shining 7. Full Metal Jacket 8. Eyes Wide Shut 9. Lolita 10. The Killing
My Top 10 Kubrick movies 1. Barry Lyndon 2. Eyes Wide Shut 3. 2001: A Space Odyssey 4. Lolita 5. A Clockwork Orange 6. The Shining 7. Dr Stranglelove 8. Paths of Glory 9. The Killing 10. Full Metal Jacket
1: 2001: A Space Odissey 2: A Clockwork Orange 3: Eyes Wide Shut 4: Barry Lyndon 5: The Shining 6: Dr. Strangelove 7: Full Metal Jacket 8: Paths of Glory that's what I've seen yet
@@luke9947 it hasnt got a secret message, its about a sect (people with power and money) that rape girls. Kubrick wanted to show the dark side of hollywood, there are so many actors and directors that are accused of pedophilia and rape.
The brilliance of Kubrick is that you can rank his films in just about any order and the list would still be understandable. I don't think any director can ever and will ever match the level of brilliance for each film that he managed.
@@patrickdi.6440 Even Kieslowski was a master of his craft. It's full of incredible directors with almost perfect careers, like Kurosawa too. Thinking that Kubrick is the best by such a margin is just not knowing about the "lesser known" genius directors
2001 is perhaps the most spectacular looking and feeling movies I've ever watched. The visuals still pretty much hold up and regardless of it I love miniatures. The way the did stuff was crazy and 90% of it was either a real set or a miniature and that's amazing.
I don't think you can go wrong with listing his top 10 movies, so many masterpieces. Clockwork Orange is my favourite, but if someone says 2001 is better, I won't argue.
@@Stonehengoo Probably why he's was such a great director. Instead of churning out 3-4 forgettable movies a decade, he took many years crafting them all to perfection, ensuring his legacy. Sometimes less is more
Clockwork is definitely either my no. 1 or 2 favorite, 2001 is a bit lower on the list. Despite 2001's excellent cinematography, I prefer a movie with more plot involving characters, so I rate clockwork higher than 2001 for me.
I'm really disappointed about the place that Eyes Wide Shut had in this list. It's a beautiful movie, and I don't really think that a lot of people are able to appreciate it on the level that it was meant to be.
Eros Exactly. Kubrick considered it his best work, and if you look at the incredibly subtle level of detail, it truly is his best film ever. Now, I love 2001 and would put it on the top of every list ever, but Eyes Wide Shut easily deserves to be in the top five, if not number 2. Many people discredit it because of direct sexual themes. Now sexuality is a powerful emotion. It takes a really objective mind to see through the distortion sexuality produces, and with the amount of sexuality that's present in Eyes Wide Shut, it's no wonder people don't look beyond the external aspects of the movie. EWS is not a movie about love, sex, betrayal and fidelity at all. It is so incredibly complex and layered, it looks normal. But when you start to look closely, when you see the small hints, the shining star in the background, in-your-face MK Ultra references, you can't help but wonder the genius of this man. It's a largely misunderstood film and I wish it garnered more attention. Also, Watch Mojo is just *plain stupid*. They build lists based on word of mouth, and many a times, just randomly. Please, *Watch Mojo*. Get your game right.
I heard that Kubrick lived in Harpenden, So I thought I'd go and look at his house maybe be I thought from the road, a house just like anyone elses ... ! Urmm It had a gate house 1/2 a mile from the house after that there was an estate of staff houses on the estate, you can't go further and the next part was super walled, secured, and gated perimeter with the mansion so far, it's out of sight. See it you can't get near it. but hey, I did feel for a second. I might have been looking at a tree Kubrick had once looked at.
Eyes Wide Shut is so underrated, probably because like every Kubrick movie, it will get more appreciated with age and it is of course, his last film. My top five is as follows: #1- 2001: A Space Odyssey #2- The Shining #3- A Clockwork Orange #4- Eyes Wide Shut #5- Full Metal Jacket Honourable mentions to Dr. Strangelove & Paths of Glory, but they just don't have that visual beauty that I need in Kubrick films.
+Ryan Teney Paths of Glory doesn't have visual beauty? i think you need to rewatch the film. look at the composition of each scene, the patterns, the leading lines, the points of view. And if you truly appreciate his visual beauty Barry Lyndon should top your list.
***** Paths definitely is a beautiful film, but I suppose I was referring to the "Kubrick" beauty that he refined in his films as his career blossomed. And as for Barry Lyndon, touche my friend, I acknowledge it as an ascetic masterpiece but I just do not appreciate films from that period, and can't put a movie on my top 5 that I honestly don't enjoy.
@G Galeno i would add the shining. But yea 2001 is really his most impactful film, but all others aren't as impactful as Hitchcock's, Kurosawa's, or Bergamn's
In my opinion, The Shining is his best work, and remains today my all-time favorite horror films. and one of my all time favorite films in general for that matter
My Top 10 Best Kubrick Films: 10. Spartacus 9. Paths of Glory 8. Lolita 7. Barry Lyndon 6. Dr. Strangelove 5. Full Metal Jacket 4. 2001: A Space Odyssey 3. A Clockwork Orange 2. Eyes Wide Shut 1. The Shining
I avoided Barry Lyndon for decades for fear that I would hate it, I finally saw it a month ago, and I think now it maybe my favorite. PS If you haven’t got Eyes Wide Shut in the Top 3 you’ve blown your credibility.
2001 just fills me with awe every time I see it. It amazes me that so many different people can watch the very same movie and come out of it having had such varied experiences.
Kubrick is the greatest director of all times, and 2001 was the first revolution in the cinema before the Matrix trilogy which is the second for me. 2001 is the first time than a movie was an experience on the scenario, the philosophy (Nietzsche and Pascal theories are illustrated in 2001), and a revolution on the visual effects (Georges Lucas inspired in to create Star Wars) My Kubrick's top : 1. 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY : the best sci-fi movie 2. CLOCKWORK ORANGE : the best anticipation movie 3. THE SHINING : the best horror movie and the best madness performance for an actor : Nicholson genius 4. BARRY LYNDON : the best age movie, so beautiful pictures 5. Dr STRANGELOVE : the best political satiric movie 6. FULL METAL JACKET : one of the best war movies 7. EYES WIDE SHUT : a wonderful erotical thriller 8. SPARTACUS : one of the best peplos 9. PATHS OF GLORY : the best 1st World War's movie 10. LOLITA : very good
2001 really is one of the best science fiction films ever made. Co-created by one of the best filmmakers of all time and one of the best SF authors of all time, its a masterpiece IMO. Re-making 2001 (as has been rumored) without Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke would be like re-painting the Mona Lisa without Leonardo Da Vinci. Full Metal Jacket is also an amazing film (the fact that R Lee Ermey had actually been a USMC drill instructor and brought his experiences to the film role helped with that I suspect)
+Kyle Simmons It is a Stanley Kubrick production. He didn't direct the film but he handed over the project to Steven Spielberg well before his death (about 7 years prior). And at the very end of the film, Spielberg added an additional credit that reads - "For Stanley Kubrick". It was quite touching.
Nameless Paladin I love A.I. on so many levels. It's a great story, great visuals and great performances. Some Kubrick alumni (Jan Harlan, etc.) were used or consulted for the film which gave it the flavor of a Kubrick film in some of the camera angles. It's time to dig the film out of my collection and watch it again. =)
+Nameless Paladin AI was a total MIND FUCK of a film! You could SEE it still had all the hall marks of Kubrik, with Spielberg's added sense of wonder to it. The ending was a total mind blower!
Steven Spielberg did a good job of capturing Kubrick's style. You can tell he was determined to honour his old friend and the ending was actually much darker than a lot of people give it credit for. One day. After that, Monica's dead and David will probably deactivate himself AKA commit suicide. I wish Kubrick was still alive. I learned about him through Nostalgia Critic and he makes most of the new generations directors, barring prodigies like Christopher Nolan, look like first year film students.
I didn't like 2001 when I first watched it, but after rewatching it I can definitely say it's my favourite Kubrick. My top 5 Kubrick films I've seen: 1. 2001 A Space Odyssey 2. The Shining 3. Paths of Glory 4. Full Metal Jacket 5. Dr Strangelove
+William Love I also almost fell asleep the first time seeing 2001 - although now that I'm able to comprehend what is being shown on the screen, I consider it to be the greatest film ever made.
Lynch comes close but gets carried away in his imagination were as kubrick as a fine balance of imagination and storytelling. Lynch is good dont get me wrong, one of the top 10s but not the best. Kubrick will never be matched due to him setting the standard for deep, rich, plots.
Gee -- he only made 13 films. So listing the top 10 is like listing the best 9 months of the year, or the 5 funniest dwarfs, or the 20 best Bond films, or the 40 best States to live in.
Not to mention, the 3 honorable mentions are just the last 3 Kubrick movies not on the list. Top 10 movies, 3 honorable mentions. He only made 13 films! Kinda dumb.
@@rustincohle2135 Also, the 3 honorable mentions happen to be Kubrick's first 3 films. This video could be titled "Top 10 of most recent 10 Stanley Kubrick Movies".
Eyes Wide Shut will forever be his most overlooked. Excellent film, great dialogue and commentary on adulthood and midlife crisis. An under appreciated masterpiece. I'd have it #6 in my top 10. That just proves how great of a director he was and the quality of his work.
This is how I'd rank them. 10. The Killing 9. Spartacus 8. Paths of Glory 7. Dr Strangelove 6. Full Metal Jacket 5. The Shining 4. A Clockwork Orange 3. Eyes Wide Shut 2. Barry Lyndon 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey #Film #Kubrick #Cinema
It's called giving the audience what they want... top 10 Kubrick flicks was a very popular request. And, FWIW, isn't there merit in ranking those flicks?
1. A Clockwork Orange 2. The Shining 3. Full Metal Jacket 4. 2001: A Space Odyssey 5. Dr. Stangelove 6. Lolita 7. Eyes Wide Shut 8. Paths of Glory 9. Spartacus 10. Barry Lyndon
In my opinion, this is how I would rank them: 10) Spartacus 9) Lolita 8) Full Metal Jacket 7) Paths of Glory 6) Barry Lyndon 5) Dr Strangelove 4) 2001: A Space Odyssey 3) Eyes Wide Shut 2) The Shining 1) A Clockwork Orange
I think I like all of his movies equally. Some require a more meditative state to enjoy...like Barry Lyndon or 2001...but they're all distinctly Kubrick. People seem to love him or hate him. He's not easy to be indifferent towards...I really love how he frames his shots...Just about every shot in Dr. Strangelove is like an art photo...and I just love the credit-less opening shots of The Shining...
rocket dogge The pace is done deliberately, after watching the film 10 times I have no problem with its slowness. Solaris by Tarkovsky is slower by a wide margin.
Kubrick is will probably be my favorite director for the rest of my life. Such a game-changer in the way he moved his camera, to the incredible advancement of special effects, he's gonna be remembered forever in those regards as a master. btw I liked that the honorable mentions were also a nod to the rest of his filmography.
The best part is that all of Stanley Kubrick's 13 movies are on this list!! xD However I don't understand why Watchmojo never used wide screen clips of Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. It cuts away from the visual grandeur of what Kubrick actually wanted us to see. Nonetheless, it's a great list! Thanks Watchmojo xD
My ranking: 1. Paths of Glory 2. 2001: A Space odyssey 3. Dr. Strangelove 4. Full metal jacket 5. The Shining 6. Eyes wide shut 7. A Clockwork orange That's all I've seen. I will check out Spartacus and Barry Lyndon soon
1. A Clockwork Orange 2. Dr. Strangelove 3. 2001: A Space Odyssey 4. Paths Of Glory 5. Barry Lyndon I think his Top 3, no matter what order they are in, are pretty secure, while all others are more subject to opinion. I've always thought of Paths Of Glory as his forgotten masterpiece. It is dark, bleak, merciless, but reeks of passion and soul, all outlined by the singing at the end. Also, I find Barry Lyndon to be criminally underrated. I hear the talks about how long it is and how slow it moves, but I'm mesmerized by this movie and it's one of the greatest films I've ever seen.
1- a clockwork orange 2- 2001: a space odissey 3- barry lyndon 4- shining 5- full metal jacket 6- paths of glory 7- dr. strangelove 8- eyes wide shut 9- lolita 10- spartacus
the first time that i watchted 2001 i was very bored and i thought that it was very overrated. but the second time that i watched hit, it became the my second fovorite movie of all time (the first is a clockwork orange)... so i think that it is a movie that you love or hate.
10. Lolita 9. The Killing 8. Full Metal Jacket 7. Paths of Glory 6. Dr Strangelove 5. The Shining 4. Eyes Wide Shut 3. Barry Lyndon 2. A Clockwork Orange 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
Based on the films I've seen by each director my top 10 goes: 1-Quentin Tarantino 2-Alfred Hitchcock 3-Steven Spielberg 4-Stanley Kubrick 5-Christopher Nolan 6-David Fincher 7-Martin Scorcese 8-Francis Ford Coppola 9-Clint Eastwood 10-Coen Brothers
Not bad. My top 5: 1. Kubrick 2. Welles 3. Hitchcock 4. Spielberg 5. Coen Bros. Of course, this is top 5 American directors. The whole world would take a much bigger list.
+Mac Rogi My top Directors but in no particular order: Sion Sono Alejandro Jodorovsky Kim-Ki-Duk Khavn dela Cruz Nicholas Winding Refn Lars von Trier Luis Bunuel Wong Kar-Wai Takashi Miike Stanley Kubric
1. A Clockwork Orange (it's my favorite) 2. 2001: A Space Odyssey ( the best one, it's a real masterpiece) 3. The Shining 4. Eyes Wide Shut 5. Dr. Strangelove 6. Lolita 7. Full Metal Jacket 8. Barry Lyndon 9. Spartacus 10. Paths of Glory
I find it funny so many people don't like 2001: A Space Odyssey because of it's slow pace. In the times when it feels slow, you think harder and therefore see deeper. Watch the film again when you gain more brain cells please and then you will see why it's number 1.
Kubrick films tend to grow on you, you don't like them the first time, but if you watch it again you'll eventually love it. My top 5 Stanley Kubrick films are (in no particular order) 1.) Dr Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 2.) Full Metal Jacket 3.) The Shining 4.) 2001: A Space Odyssey 5.) A Clockwork Orange I've seen others, Paths of Glory, Barry Lyndon, Spartacus, Eyes Wide Shut etc. and those are beautiful, amazing films, but these are my personal top 5.
MrDrawingboard1 I think Lolita would be an easy 6th for yours, but personally I'd have (disregarding the "no particular order"): 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey 2. A Clockwork Orange 3. The Shining 4. Lolita 5. Dr. Strangelove 6. Full Metal Jacket 7. Paths of Glory And the rest just kind of fill in in no particular order; they are great, but those 7 are my favorites in order.
I know Spielberg is on the same page as me, but I'm not taking any line from him or anything. When he give examples, I often hear him talking about The Shining.
It's just I agree with Spielberg, Kubrick films don't hit me the first time around. They don't seem to hit with many audiences the first time around either.
I'm happy to see such love for Kubrick; it was evident that he put so much work into creating perfect results. If I were rating his films, my top 10 would be 2001, Barry Lyndon, Clockwork, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, Dr Strangelove, Paths of Glory, The Killing, Lolita and Full Metal Jacket.
My Top 10: 1.) 2001: A Space Odyssey (10/10) 2.) A Clockwork Orange (10/10) 3.) Eyes Wide Shut (10/10) 4.) The Shining (10/10) 5.) Barry Lyndon (10/10) 6.) Full Metal Jacket (10/10) 7.) Dr. Strangelove (10/10) 8.) Paths Of Glory (10/10) 9.) Lolita (9/10) 10.) Spartacus (8/10) Kubrick is the GOAT 🐏
The fact that 2001 was made 46 years ago and it's special effects are better than many movies today just baffles me
so true...better than starwars by a million times
Well it did have a 10.5 million dollar budget
60 year now
He did have nasa backing
Charles Miller - He cared about quality and it shows.
If Kubrick had the resources of today, he’d show us the wonders of the universe. He is a legend. R.I.P Stanley Kubrick
My top 5
1. The shining
2. A clockwork orange
3. 2001 a space odissey
4. Full metal jacket
5. Dr. Strangelove

Eyes Wide shut was awful. Sad because Full Metal Jacket would have been a fine way to end his career
+sliat1981 Shut up you son of a bitch.
EWS is a pure masterpiece.
+sliat1981 you know nothing about cinema
+sliat1981 eyes wide shut is a masterpiece. should be higher in the list, probably number 3...
+James Dean really sad to see that most people think it sucks just because they haven't understood it and everybody says it isn't as good as other kubrick's movies. nothing could be more incorrect...
Eyes Wide Shut should be higher. A very underrated, beautifully shot and amazingly hypnotic film.
The only Mojo list that can be put in any order. All masterpieces.

That & 2001!!
Like Clockwork, make you all hurt!
Beat Spielberg, The Color Purple!

+Daniel Biggins it is my favorite of all time
Eyes Wide Shut is incredibly underrated. Also Paths of Glory must be way higher.

Greatest director of all time in my opinion.

The brilliance of Kubrick is that you can rank his films in just about any order and the list would still be understandable. I don't think any director can ever and will ever match the level of brilliance for each film that he managed.

Yep. Any order as long as 2001 is Top 1. Otherwise, it's a stupid list.
Well, post-'64 Kubrick generally > pre-'64 Kubrick (except Paths of Glory) but your point is well taken.
2001 is perhaps the most spectacular looking and feeling movies I've ever watched. The visuals still pretty much hold up and regardless of it I love miniatures. The way the did stuff was crazy and 90% of it was either a real set or a miniature and that's amazing.

Dr. Strangelove is the best.
Full Metal Jacket is probably my least favorite of his TBH. It’s good but it’s not quite on the level of 2001 or The Shining.
You miss the path of glory and gladiator, for me they are better than every film you said.
the most important director of all time, GENIUS
turkyish no Alfred Hitchcock is
G Galeno ok Boomer
but yeah you’re true
@G Galeno i would add the shining. But yea 2001 is really his most impactful film, but all others aren't as impactful as Hitchcock's, Kurosawa's, or Bergamn's

Not for me sorry

Arath Villegas there’s Coppola, Scorsese, Coen, Tarantino ... I always look forward to their movies.. Nolan too

I avoided Barry Lyndon for decades for fear that I would hate it, I finally saw it a month ago, and I think now it maybe my favorite. PS If you haven’t got Eyes Wide Shut in the Top 3 you’ve blown your credibility.
Stanley Kubrick, the director of Directors....This man was unparalleled, a pure cinematic genius.
2001 just fills me with awe every time I see it. It amazes me that so many different people can watch the very same movie and come out of it having had such varied experiences.
Kubrick is the greatest director of all times, and 2001 was the first revolution in the cinema before the Matrix trilogy which is the second for me.
2001 is the first time than a movie was an experience on the scenario, the philosophy (Nietzsche and Pascal theories are illustrated in 2001), and a revolution on the visual effects (Georges Lucas inspired in to create Star Wars)
My Kubrick's top :
1. 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY : the best sci-fi movie
2. CLOCKWORK ORANGE : the best anticipation movie
3. THE SHINING : the best horror movie and the best madness performance for an actor : Nicholson genius
4. BARRY LYNDON : the best age movie, so beautiful pictures
5. Dr STRANGELOVE : the best political satiric movie
6. FULL METAL JACKET : one of the best war movies
7. EYES WIDE SHUT : a wonderful erotical thriller
8. SPARTACUS : one of the best peplos
9. PATHS OF GLORY : the best 1st World War's movie
10. LOLITA : very good
Hitchcock is the greatest director of all time.
I think that Kubrick's #1 was 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY. When Stanley and Arthur c Clark got together and created 2001, they made history!
IMO, i think Dr Strangelove is Kubrick's best film and one of my favourite movies of all time.
Grain alcohol...
@@miholju Bodily fluids
@@izetyusein3323 Purity of Essence.
Dr strange love is the best comedy movie of all time
Pure masterpiece
2001 really is one of the best science fiction films ever made. Co-created by one of the best filmmakers of all time and one of the best SF authors of all time, its a masterpiece IMO.
Re-making 2001 (as has been rumored) without Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke would be like re-painting the Mona Lisa without Leonardo Da Vinci.
Full Metal Jacket is also an amazing film (the fact that R Lee Ermey had actually been a USMC drill instructor and brought his experiences to the film role helped with that I suspect)
You mean THE best science fiction movie ever made.
Without a doubt, Stanley Kubrick was the greatest director ever to live.
Barry Lyndon is #1
Definetly
Such a forgotten masterpiece.
2001 A Space Oddysey?
Homer Simpson Barry Lyndon?
2001 and Barry Lyndon are for me the best films of all the time.
I wish he was still with us to make more fabulous movies! I cried when he died.
so did i stew fmj crew.
Paths of Glory has the honor of being one of the few films that actually made me cry.
1. 2001
2. The Shining
3. Clockwork
4. Strangelove
5.Barry Lyndon
The Killing is one of the most underrated films ever, that movie should be a classic as Casablanca or Citizen Kane.
It's a shame Kubrick didn't live to produce A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
+Kyle Simmons It is a Stanley Kubrick production. He didn't direct the film but he handed over the project to Steven Spielberg well before his death (about 7 years prior). And at the very end of the film, Spielberg added an additional credit that reads - "For Stanley Kubrick". It was quite touching.
Nameless Paladin I love A.I. on so many levels. It's a great story, great visuals and great performances. Some Kubrick alumni (Jan Harlan, etc.) were used or consulted for the film which gave it the flavor of a Kubrick film in some of the camera angles. It's time to dig the film out of my collection and watch it again. =)
+Nameless Paladin AI was a total MIND FUCK of a film! You could SEE it still had all the hall marks of Kubrik, with Spielberg's added sense of wonder to it.
The ending was a total mind blower!
Steven Spielberg did a good job of capturing Kubrick's style. You can tell he was determined to honour his old friend and the ending was actually much darker than a lot of people give it credit for. One day. After that, Monica's dead and David will probably deactivate himself AKA commit suicide. I wish Kubrick was still alive. I learned about him through Nostalgia Critic and he makes most of the new generations directors, barring prodigies like Christopher Nolan, look like first year film students.
Or 'Napoleon'.
Barry Lyndon is soooo underrated. #1 & #2 are Barry Lyndon and 2001. I don't care about the order but those are his 2 best films.
+Nameless Paladin Ditto! Barry Lyndon and 2001 are his two best, and also two of the best films I've ever seen.
what about dr Strangelove?
Cor Tadew I would put it at #3.
Nameless Paladin I always see you in film videos, and notice your comments are super smart and educated.
Cor Tadew Well that's nice to hear.
Personally I would go with
1. Full Metal Jacket
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey
3. Clockwork Orange
4. The Shining
5. Sparticus
@Caleb Mbala 3 years too late, but welcome to the internet dude.
I didn't like 2001 when I first watched it, but after rewatching it I can definitely say it's my favourite Kubrick.
My top 5 Kubrick films I've seen:
1. 2001 A Space Odyssey
2. The Shining
3. Paths of Glory
4. Full Metal Jacket
5. Dr Strangelove
you should check out a clockwork orange
***** Since writing my comment I have, actually. It was pretty great, I'd put it just under 2001.
alexf02071999 I personally prefer Clockwork Orange over 2001, but both are Awesome.
That's how I feel about the shinning
Alot of Kubrick films tend to grow on you, you don't really like it the first time around and then you start to grow to love it after the first time.
First time i watched 2001 a space odyessy i was blown away totally forgot about star wars b/c that movie is the best Sci-Fi movie of all time
2001= The most beautiful movie ever made.
2001= The DULLEST movie ever made!!
+William Love
I also almost fell asleep the first time seeing 2001 - although now that I'm able to comprehend what is being shown on the screen, I consider it to be the greatest film ever made.
Star Wars is overrated anyway nothing beats 2001 period.
It's a shame that many people don't like 2001. The first time I saw it, it was the most amazing film experience I've ever had.
AMEN!
That film is the star wars before star wars existed
"I'm sparticus" so thats where Monty python got it from in the life of brian!
Thought the same
1. 2001
2. A Clockwork Orange
3. The Shining
4. Dr Strangelove
5. Full metal jacket
probably the greatest artist ever
not probably certainly
Sorry, gonna have to disagree w/you guys. That honor goes to David Lynch.
Lynch comes close but gets carried away in his imagination were as kubrick as a fine balance of imagination and storytelling. Lynch is good dont get me wrong, one of the top 10s but not the best. Kubrick will never be matched due to him setting the standard for deep, rich, plots.
King Crimson?, of course!
No artist is the greatest and if anyone is its Fuckink MICHAELANGELO! you kidding me?... you know what he did?
#1 2001
#2 A Clockwork Orange
#3 The Shining
#4 Barry Lyndon
#5 Dr. Strangelove
#6 Paths of Glory
#7 FMJ
#8 Eyes Wide Shut
#9 Spartacus
#10 Lolita
Gee -- he only made 13 films. So listing the top 10 is like listing the best 9 months of the year, or the 5 funniest dwarfs, or the 20 best Bond films, or the 40 best States to live in.
oscar3eyes Yeah, but it’s watchmojo. What else could you expect?
Not to mention, the 3 honorable mentions are just the last 3 Kubrick movies not on the list. Top 10 movies, 3 honorable mentions. He only made 13 films! Kinda dumb.
@@rustincohle2135 Also, the 3 honorable mentions happen to be Kubrick's first 3 films. This video could be titled "Top 10 of most recent 10 Stanley Kubrick Movies".
He could have made 10 and you can still sort them from worst to best 🙄
Kubrick has been steady and delivered one masterpiece after another. I think all his movies are great.
The Shining was the first Kubrick film I ever saw and it will always be my favourite.
Eyes Wide Shut will forever be his most overlooked. Excellent film, great dialogue and commentary on adulthood and midlife crisis. An under appreciated masterpiece. I'd have it #6 in my top 10. That just proves how great of a director he was and the quality of his work.
I've been waiting for this list my whole life. The Clockwork Orange impacted me more than anything in reality could.
me, also. I've even created a fictional band inspired by A Clockwork Orange called Fashionable Alex and wrote ten songs for 'them'.
This is how I'd rank them.
10. The Killing
9. Spartacus
8. Paths of Glory
7. Dr Strangelove
6. Full Metal Jacket
5. The Shining
4. A Clockwork Orange
3. Eyes Wide Shut
2. Barry Lyndon
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
#Film #Kubrick #Cinema
Full Metal Jacket #6? Are you crazy?
Marcellus Wallace Not that I know of. Full Metal Jacket is a great movie, but I think the films in my Kubrick top 5 are better.
***** Eyes Wide Shut and Barry Lyndon to me are not better than Full Metal Jacket. But nevertheless, All those movies are great movies.
No Orson Wells - The Third Man. Or Touch of Evil. Concrete Jungle...
My bad didn't pay close attention to the list - just Stanley Kubrick. But, I agree - Full Metal Jacket #6? The Killing last?
A legend filmmaker. Able to attain critical acclaim in any genre.
1) Clockwork Orange
2) 2001 A Space Odyssey
3) Fullmetal Jacket
4) Shining
5) Eyes Wide Shut
6) Dr Strangelove
7) Barry Lyndon
8) Paths of Glory
9) The Killing
10) Spartacus
What the fuck? How do you a top ten when he only has written and directed 11 movies?
It's called giving the audience what they want... top 10 Kubrick flicks was a very popular request.
And, FWIW, isn't there merit in ranking those flicks?
Rev0lutionIsMyName *13
Rev0lutionIsMyName but he's directed 16, which mean's there's 16 Kubrick films out there........
+Thurgor Supreme Because 11 is more than ten.
+Thurgor Supreme They also did a Top 10 David Lynch movies when he has only made 10 movies... No place for honorable mentions :P
He's a director who's never made a bad movie. Simply amazing. Hell even my favorite director of all time Coppola shat out Jack.
These rankings are typical, but let's be honest Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut are really #2 and #3
***** I'd probably say:
1: Barry Lyndon
2: Clockwork
3: Eyes Wide Shut
EWS was cool but I don't think I got it.
A Clockwork Orange is the Greatest movie of all time!
Certainly up there
2001
Keith Ode nope 2001 claims all
good call
I guess you guys haven't seen Barry Lyndon then because that's an unbelievably good film and far surpasses any other Kubrick movie INCLUDING 2001
1. A Clockwork Orange
2. The Shining
3. Full Metal Jacket
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. Dr. Stangelove
6. Lolita
7. Eyes Wide Shut
8. Paths of Glory
9. Spartacus
10. Barry Lyndon
fucking moron, eyes wide shut is better than Barry Lindon ?
+Jeremy Fi this offends you how exactly?
+Brodie Rule Put Clockwork Orange down, Space Odyssey up, Barry Lyndon way up, and Lolita down.
SelfReferencingName why do you care? It's not your list
Justin Urquiola
I'm just educating the people.
2001: A Space Odyssey for sure.. mind=blown
+Kevin Lossez ew, who let you outta the sewer?
In my opinion, this is how I would rank them:
10) Spartacus
9) Lolita
8) Full Metal Jacket
7) Paths of Glory
6) Barry Lyndon
5) Dr Strangelove
4) 2001: A Space Odyssey
3) Eyes Wide Shut
2) The Shining
1) A Clockwork Orange
I think I like all of his movies equally. Some require a more meditative state to enjoy...like Barry Lyndon or 2001...but they're all distinctly Kubrick. People seem to love him or hate him. He's not easy to be indifferent towards...I really love how he frames his shots...Just about every shot in Dr. Strangelove is like an art photo...and I just love the credit-less opening shots of The Shining...
2001 is the greatest film ever made.
Interstellar.
Shammo Hamid I hope you are joking right?
+Shammo Hamid Interstellar basically is 2001, but nowhere near as complex and beautiful
the most boring
rocket dogge The pace is done deliberately, after watching the film 10 times I have no problem with its slowness. Solaris by Tarkovsky is slower by a wide margin.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE--IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE EVER!!!
swtiris alexopoulos too
Kubrick is will probably be my favorite director for the rest of my life. Such a game-changer in the way he moved his camera, to the incredible advancement of special effects, he's gonna be remembered forever in those regards as a master.
btw I liked that the honorable mentions were also a nod to the rest of his filmography.
I agree 100%
The best part is that all of Stanley Kubrick's 13 movies are on this list!! xD
However I don't understand why Watchmojo never used wide screen clips of Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. It cuts away from the visual grandeur of what Kubrick actually wanted us to see. Nonetheless, it's a great list! Thanks Watchmojo xD
My ranking:
1. Paths of Glory
2. 2001: A Space odyssey
3. Dr. Strangelove
4. Full metal jacket
5. The Shining
6. Eyes wide shut
7. A Clockwork orange
That's all I've seen. I will check out Spartacus and Barry Lyndon soon
Paths of glory is criminally underrated
1. A Clockwork Orange
2. Dr. Strangelove
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey
4. Paths Of Glory
5. Barry Lyndon
I think his Top 3, no matter what order they are in, are pretty secure, while all others are more subject to opinion. I've always thought of Paths Of Glory as his forgotten masterpiece. It is dark, bleak, merciless, but reeks of passion and soul, all outlined by the singing at the end. Also, I find Barry Lyndon to be criminally underrated. I hear the talks about how long it is and how slow it moves, but I'm mesmerized by this movie and it's one of the greatest films I've ever seen.
WHY DID YOU NOT PUT HIM ON ANY OF THE TOP 10 DIRECTORS LIST????????????
+Kevin Stankovic Calling him a director would be an insult, he is the greatest film maker of all time. he doesn't just direct
Your wish came true! Look up top 10 best directors of all time and Kubrick will be on there.
Nicholas Brady I agree. He wrote the scenario, he also became the cameraman, and all of the stuffs. He is filmmaker, not only director
Kevin Stankovic iii
Kevin Stankovic They put him at #1 on their top 10 directors of all time list
Q-Brick is Perfect... he never Did a Shitty or Bad movie ever!
Even though he's my biggest idol. I have a hard time defending Fear and Desire.
@James Bryan "Flying Padre" was an entertaining documentary short as was "Day of the Fight". However, "The Seafarers" is a boring as shit doc short.

Il gatto nero I just find it so slow, I wanna love the film, but it's so difficult.

+Mac Rogi My top Directors but in no particular order:
Sion Sono
Alejandro Jodorovsky
Kim-Ki-Duk
Khavn dela Cruz
Nicholas Winding Refn
Lars von Trier
Luis Bunuel
Wong Kar-Wai
Takashi Miike
Stanley Kubric
Eyes wide shut is his best movie
Have you seen A Clockwork Orange?
Yes :)
I'd say that's his best, but I haven't seen one of his movies that I don't like.
Well we all have different opinions. not surprising that you like all his movie as he was perfectionist.
Clockwork was extremely graphic and violent Eyes Wide Shut was much better
1. A Clockwork Orange (it's my favorite)
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey ( the best one, it's a real masterpiece)
3. The Shining
4. Eyes Wide Shut
5. Dr. Strangelove
6. Lolita
7. Full Metal Jacket
8. Barry Lyndon
9. Spartacus
10. Paths of Glory
I find it funny so many people don't like 2001: A Space Odyssey because of it's slow pace. In the times when it feels slow, you think harder and therefore see deeper. Watch the film again when you gain more brain cells please and then you will see why it's number 1.
Kubrick films tend to grow on you, you don't like them the first time, but if you watch it again you'll eventually love it.
My top 5 Stanley Kubrick films are (in no particular order)
1.) Dr Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
2.) Full Metal Jacket
3.) The Shining
4.) 2001: A Space Odyssey
5.) A Clockwork Orange
I've seen others, Paths of Glory, Barry Lyndon, Spartacus, Eyes Wide Shut etc. and those are beautiful, amazing films, but these are my personal top 5.
MrDrawingboard1 I think Lolita would be an easy 6th for yours, but personally I'd have (disregarding the "no particular order"):
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. A Clockwork Orange
3. The Shining
4. Lolita
5. Dr. Strangelove
6. Full Metal Jacket
7. Paths of Glory
And the rest just kind of fill in in no particular order; they are great, but those 7 are my favorites in order.
Yeah, even Strangelove I didn't love the first time around. I had to see that film about 3 or 4 times to like it.
MrDrawingboard1 You took that line from Steven Spielberg.
I know Spielberg is on the same page as me, but I'm not taking any line from him or anything. When he give examples, I often hear him talking about The Shining.
It's just I agree with Spielberg, Kubrick films don't hit me the first time around. They don't seem to hit with many audiences the first time around either.
Anybody else think that Barry Lyndon was a little underrated, and should have at least been in the top three
I am agree
Wholeheartedly agreed.
1000%
Completely underrated.
It was overrated, not in the same class as the others.
Top of the lot, no debate about it.
I'm happy to see such love for Kubrick; it was evident that he put so much work into creating perfect results. If I were rating his films, my top 10 would be 2001, Barry Lyndon, Clockwork, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, Dr Strangelove, Paths of Glory, The Killing, Lolita and Full Metal Jacket.
My Top 10:
1.) 2001: A Space Odyssey (10/10)
2.) A Clockwork Orange (10/10)
3.) Eyes Wide Shut (10/10)
4.) The Shining (10/10)
5.) Barry Lyndon (10/10)
6.) Full Metal Jacket (10/10)
7.) Dr. Strangelove (10/10)
8.) Paths Of Glory (10/10)
9.) Lolita (9/10)
10.) Spartacus (8/10)
Kubrick is the GOAT 🐏
2001: A Space Odyssey is my favourite film of all time.
+eclipsesonic i can tell by ur pic

It's amazing how black and white made Paths of Glory stand out so well, considering most of kubrick's work was in colour.
Im sorry dave, but im afraid I cant do that.
