J-Cush - just like our ratings of PTA's films, we are pretty close on Kubrick, too! They don't match exactly and our ordering is quite different, but still...

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb- 10/10
The Shining- 9.5/10
Eyes Wide Shut- 9.5/10
Barry Lyndon- 9/10
2001: A Space Odyssey- 8.5/10
Paths of Glory- 8.5/10
The Killing- 8.5/10
Full Metal Jacket- 8.5/10
Spartacus- 8.5/10
A Clockwork Orange- 8/10
Lolita- 6/10

I wonder if we'd agree on any other directors?

I don't 'love' his movies but I really, really respect him as a filmmaker.........

my faves are Full Metal Jacket.......Barry Lyndon (filming only in natural and candle light!! what a genius!!!)......Eyes Wide Shut, but with reservations.........and Lolita altho I hated the fact that Sellers was in it; his presence ruined the whole thing for me..........the story is dynamic enough without his pretentious 'character' spoiling the 'feel' of the storyline!!
as for Space Odyssey? HATED IT but as I said, I respect him for making it..........we miss ya, Stanley!! RIP...!!!

Not seen the rest but want to see BL.

I admire his craft but think he is severely overrated.
