"Eyes Wide Shut", Kubrick's last movie. It was about a strange, secret society (some people believe The Illuminati)and how a doctor, Tom Cruise's character, gets involved with them. Kind of strange. I think Dr Starangelove is my favorite, though.

Excellent, Full Metal Jacket is one of my all-time favorites. I also like

A Clockwork Orange

The Shining

2001 A Space Odyssey

Dr. Strangelove

Eyes Wide Shut was unusual and I wouldn't want to watch it again. Lolita also wasn't one of my favorites, but that has more to do with the story than Kubrick. I've finally decided that I don't enjoy most Russian writers and should stop even trying. I'd get 500 pages into one and then think, "This book really sucks". I finally stopped trying to like Hemmingway also, so it's not some anti-Russian thing.

To me, Full Metal Jacket is great up to that point, Peachy. Then, it's like a roller coaster ride which hasn't any good hills left. My suggestion would be to stop where you did, at the top of the biggest hill.

It's my least favourite Kubrick film.

If you want to see a prime example of good film-making, with a tight storyline, good acting, camerawork, editing, direction, and not a wasted second from start to finish......then look no further than Kubrick's "THE KILLING".
