Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1964, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrick’s pitch-black Cold War comedy is absolute gold, intelligently poking fun at the sheer absurdity of nuclear war and rhetoric. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1987, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 7 Comments

The duality of being a U.S. Marine—to train to kill but also be expendable—is captured with cold, hard irony in Kubrick’s clinical take on the (Vietnam) war movie. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Lolita (1962)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1962, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

With incredible restraint and backed by all-round excellent performances, Kubrick’s exploration into a revolting form of sexual obsession is remarkable for its implicit portrayal of an erotic relationship between a (step)father and his daughter.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Fear and Desire (1953)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1953, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrick’s much-maligned first feature, while a sketchy exercise, is still (barely) watchable as it ruminates about war and existence, albeit in too self-important and vacuous a manner.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

  • 1980, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA

A masterpiece of baroque horror cinema that continues to haunt through tone, technique and characterisation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1999, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrick’s final film is a calculated psychosexual trip filled with paranoia, moral depravity and sexual fantasies and excesses.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Barry Lyndon (1975)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1975, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 7 Comments

Kubrick’s understated and underrated costume-drama is, to me, his greatest accomplishment, and possibly the most beautiful period film ever made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Clockwork Orange, A (1971)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1971, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 10 Comments

Kubrick’s dystopian masterpiece frustrates, angers, provokes, and ultimately floors you in ways unlike that of other great films.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1968, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 13 Comments

Kubrick’s most influential film still remains way ahead of its time and is arguably the greatest sci-fi film ever made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Paths of Glory (1957)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1957, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 5 Comments

One of the most potent anti-war films ever made… so powerful it makes your blood boil at how some humans can be so despicable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.
