My all time favorite Kubrick films are Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove, 2001, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut.
He truly envisioned worlds that you want to explore, you had to wait years to do so, now you can enjoy all of his films on DVD and explore what he saw...

Defintely "Dr. Strangelove".
Mark, did you know that "Fail Safe" came out
the same year and had an almost identical
plot, except it wasn't a comedy.
They had a lawsuit about it, but I don't kno
the outcome.

Stupid question, you're speaking to a huge Kubric fan.
Has everyone forgotten 2001, A Space Odysse?
Only films by him I havn't seen are Lolita, Waterloo (hard to find them, really) and Eyes Wide Shut.
I've see everything else. And I own a few.

'2001: A Space Odyssey' and the original movie 'The Shining'.
I have yet to see 'Eyes Wide Shut', though it's on my list of ones I need to rent / buy. |

Good call Sarah,"2001"is my personal favorite.
I also love "Full Metal Jacket",and "The Shining".
"Eyes Wide Shut" I found to be too long,silly,and boring but Nicole Kidman made it well worth watching. 
Oh yeah,for a great Kubrick film rarely seen on cable rent "The Killing",a great crime drama from 1956,if you can find it. |

Full Metal Jacket was great, but only the first part, in my opinion. The second part was standard war movie fare.
As for A Clockwork Orange, that's my favorite. I read the book, also, and feel the movie does a pretty darn good job in being true to it.
Appy-Polly-Loggies to anyone who might not agree with me! |

Hey Sarah, does Kubrick have any other
comedies besides Strangelove?

I made the mistake of seeing the shinning right after I read
the book, I hated the movie then but have sense come to like
it based on Jacks outstanding performance.

A Clockwork Orange is a dark comedy/sci-fi film released in 1971, I believe...

Did y'all know Dr Strangelove's Velvet Hand was inspired by Rotwang the Mad Tinkerer Inventor in Fritz Lang's silent great masterpiece METROPOLIS?
Did you also know? IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

Halel, thanks for that tid-bit!! Note my avater is a pic of the robot he created. Love that film
I don't think Kubric ever did anything close to a comedy since (though A Clockwork Orange has a bit of humour.) All his stuff is tradgedy.
Now that I think of it, I havn't seen Killer's Kiss nor The Killer 
But everything else...
I've also read A Clockwork Orange (forget that Appy-Polly-Waggys or whatever), The Shinning, and the whole 2001 series. I still prefere the films of all of em.
I've seen:
Full metal jacket, 2001 A Space Odysee, Sparticus, The Shinning, Paths of Glory (best WWI film out there!), Clockwork Orange, AI (if that counts), Barry Lyndon, and maybe whatever else I'm forgetting that I havn't mentioned not seeing.
