Top 10 Stanley Kubrick Films

A man of fewer words and the most eclectic taste in making films. None of Kubrick films looks like another. He has experienced action, romance, comedy, horror, war, violence, epic and he has accomplished them in the best way possible. His collection of films alone is a graceful handpicked selection of both classic and contemporary cinema. There’s still a lot to learn. I have seen all Kubrick films and I thought “Why not write a top 10?” here’s my top 10 Kubrick works, these works probably covers 90% of his whole career.

10 Spartacus (1960) - A memory so far away, an epic tale, still Kubrick style, not a real favorite!
09 Barry Lindon (1975) - An elaborate life depiction rises and falls. Barry Lindon is a man! Or is he?
08 The Killing (1956) - A detective murder story that keeps getting better as it goes. The ending scene is shocking: Gone With the Wind. You are inadvertently on the wrong side. You want the money, too.
07 Lolita (1962) - This wonderful romantic chamber of events on a relationship based and established only as a connection to a better affair is offered without involving in hardcore scenes. Only the spectators who had also seen the version with Jeremy Irons realize the difference (it’s not about Irons, he’s simply brilliant). And Peter Sellers…
06 Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love the Bomb (1964) - If you still don’t believe in Peter Sellers, watch this! Kubrick believed in him, you better just follow.
05 Full Metal Jacket (1987) - War fascism! The first half drives you crazy and keeps you entertained, while the second drags you under an ocean of shit. Vietnam was a mistake! Vietnam in London.
04 Eyes Wide Shut (1999) - There’s only one thing you should do for the rest of your life: FUCK! Kubrick investigates the core and philosophy of a family through the darkest lenses.
03 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - A philosophical space journey through the depth of limitless universe. Probably a decade ahead of its time in production and visual scenes and spacecraft schemes. This was before E.T and Close Encounter From the Third Kind.
02 The Shining (1980) - America is a hotel, you are invited to discover your inner-ugliness. A timeless masterpiece. Nicholson at his best.
01 A Clockwork Orange (1971) - Best film I have ever seen so far! Kubrick asks a fate-changing question and leaves you alone to answer. He’s not showing you any traces, you have to decide. Out of time and place!
