- I wouldn’t rank *Full Metal Jacket* so high. The training camp portion is outstanding but not the rest. It’s the same with the first half hour of *Saving Private Ryan* versus the rest. - My favorite Kubrick movie is *The Shining* because I have watched it the most. It’s electric! - *Dr. Strangelove* has the best all time performance by an actor in a movie with Peter Sellers playing three roles. - *Paths of Glory* is one of the greatest anti-war movies ever made along with *Come and See* and *Grave of the Fireflies* which all make you aware of the senselessness of war!

That's actually Not Kubrick in Eyes Wide Shut. He's Just an extra who happened to look a lot like him. His daughter, Katherina, said that the crew noticed the resemblance on set and Joked about it even then. Kubrick does however have audio cameos in both 2001 and Full Metal Jacket. In 2001 his breath can be heard in the scenes with Dave and Frank in spacesuits and he talks to Pvt. Cowboy over the radio in Full Metal Jacket. Also in the beginning of Lolita, there's an accidental appearance in a dissolve transition where you can Just about see him walking out of frame, at least I think that's him.
I'm a huge Kubrick stan, and I definitely agree on the greatness of 2001. Greatest sci-fi movie, if not film period. A little surprised about your ranking of FMJ, though. I think Paths of Glory is easily better...but Apocalypse Now is the greatest war movie of all time. Had Kubrick made it, I'd probably put it second on this list. Maybe in a dead heat with Dr. Strangelove, a movie that is curiously completely of it's time, and way ahead of it's time. I don't foresee a future in where it's not completely relevant to current world events
Hey I had a similar experience with discovering Kubrick's other films! I think 2001 is beyond words, but I also really liked StrangeLove, Full Metal Jacket, and ESPECIALLY Clockwork Orange. WHY DID YOU DO IT SO DIRTY!?!?! (just kidding I respect your opinion) Great video!
That’s one thing I realised whist making this video, ranking them is so hard because you have great films all the way down in like 9th, but that just shows the quality of his films
With songs like the Blue Danube over course, but for the Atmospheres song(the song that plays at the start of the film when it is just a black screen for 2 mins), I wasn’t sure at the time
Hi, Benji. You must not forget that the movie Lolita is based on a novel and the name Humbert Humbert is not an invention by Kubrick, but by the author Vladimir Nabokov.
@@benjisanderoproductions Very true. I remember a professor describing Kubrick’s films to me like paintings or sculpture. Objectively well made and iconic, even if you don’t like or don’t understand them, and really meant to be critical of instead of sit back and relax film.
My personal Stanley Kubrick ranking 1) Clockwork Orange 2) Eyes Wide Shut 3) Full Metal Jacket 4) The Shining 5) Barry Lyndon 6) 2001 Space Odyssey 7) Dr Strangelove 8) Paths of Glory 9) The Killing 10) Lolita 11) Spartacus 12) Killer’s Kiss 13) Fear and Desire
FMJ in my opinion hasn't aged well - this is the Kubrick film that goes against his perfectionism - the locations for example are so obvious. I could forgive the London streets made up to look like NYC in Eyes Wide Shut - but here, the locations ruin it for me now. However, I loved it when I first saw it!
