kubrick has become my favorite director over the years. i think what he did with films was completely beyond humanity's portrayal of filmmaking. i own all of his movies except for lolita, eyes wide shut, and his earlier stuff, and i love all of them. to spark debate about kubrick's wonderful body of work, i've made a poll of his movies. what's your favorite? what's his best?

i voted for 2001: a space odyssey. as memorable as clockwork orange and the shining were, and as fantastically-made as barry lyndon was, i think this is the peak of his career. it's a full-blown fuckin' orgasm all the way through, and it's just unbelievable to watch. however, it is a dedicated watch, so my favorite in terms of entertainment is probably the shining. i also love the way barry lyndon is made.
