cloclwork orange, amazing, (Malcolm McDowell went on to do Caligola , they did kinda mesh well) 2001 and 2010 didn'y care for these (Dave, you just made poop in your suit, shall i sing to you?) then Jack Nicholson( classic, "the Shining" amd who could forget "Full Metal Jacket" the film that made Gny. Sgt R. Lee Ermey a household name. I am at a toss betwwen, a Clockwork Orange, and Full Metral jacket as my faves.... what are your faves? or least favorites, and why? wjay was his Sixth film? it ecsapes me
Eyes Wide Shut being my least fav. Off hand, of course the 2 you metioned being the tops, along wiht The Shining. Though I think a lot of his older flicks are forgotten. Spartacas being a big one. That was early Douglas too. And what about 2001:A Space Odssey!?
Clockwork and Full Metal Jacket are the best in my opinion. The shining was good, but didnt stick too much to the book. Eyes wide shut was shit. I thought the scene where nicole kidman was supposed to be high was the worst acting I have seen since, well any movie dolf lungren (SP?) has been in. They should have really gotten her high. That would have been worth watching, if she would just shut the fuck up.
There are very few movies that stick to the book dude. All that considered I think The Shining kicked ass.
It was ok. I know stories are going to change with the medium they're being told in, but I thought the movie left too much out of the story for me to enjoy. Jack rocked the part though, no doubt.
Fuck. In all seriousness I don't know what movie I like the best. Probably Star Wars if you count the moset entertainment value over all the years I have been watching movies. Sling Blade. Blade Runner. Tourist Trap. Smokey and the Bandit. Once upon a time in America. Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill. Reservoir Dogs. Full Metal Jacket. Christmas Vacation. National Lampoon's Vacation. Animal House. Caddie Shack. Nightmare on Elm Street. Phantasm. Okay I think I pick Phantasm.
Haven't seen all of them but I am pretty sure it's the Shining. A.I.

I'm not really into Stanley's movies. However, there is something you can pull out of almost all of them thats entertaining. I liked Full Metal Jacket up until Pyle shot himself. All the coochie scenes in Eyes Wide Shut made for great jerk-off material. Clockwork Orange had old people kicked the shit kicked outta them. 2001 and 2010 had...err.. well.... ok they blew. But if I have to pick a favorite, I'd say Full Metal Jacket (the first half).
"Full Metal Jacket" was like two movies in one and would be my favorite Kubrick work. I saw Ermey overseas get up on a table in a mess hall and do his drill sergeant routine for the soldiers in house (History Channel was filming 'Mail Call'). He's a great American. "Clockwork Orange" was a bizarre flick, but I enjoyed it, too. Pretty violent by the standards of that day .
