They're all pretty good but Dr Strangelove is hands down my favorite!

A Clockwork Orange.

Tough to choose just one, but as a die hard sci-fi nerd, gun to my head, I'm going with 2001.
replies:
Strangelove kills it
Barry Lyndon, The Shining, 2001. In that order.

It’s a tie between Dr Strangelove and 2001.
Me liking 2001. Who saw that one coming? /s
Kubrick Tier List
S - 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining
A - Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange
B - Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut
C - Spartacus
Not seen - Barry Lyndon, Lolita, The Killing
This is such a hard one, because he has so many S tier movies. In the end I would pick the Shining.
I love horror, so the Shining is still my favorite. But he has SOOOOO many good ones its hard to pick a #2. Id say probably FMJ or Clockwork
replies:
Either The Shining or The Killing
Paths of Glory
C.O. really is an interesting collection of characters and situations. I think they're different than some reactions that come from characters in other circumstances, eg: isolation in the Shining, bullying in FMJ.
Barry Lindon
2001
Eyes Wide Shut
if you go by rotten tomatoes score, oddly enough his best is 'The Killing' (1956) at 98%, tied with Dr. Strangelove. I had his DVD box set and it wasn't included.
Nobody going to say Lolita?
I'ma be honest with y'all.
I don't pay attention to who directed what.
If movie good, movie good. I only know director names because other people talk about them.
