Recently I watched Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory and with how much I enjoy that film I realized there were at least three others off the top of my head that I liked even more from director Kubrick (and it ends up it is really four). I then considered how few feature films Kubrick made in his career (13 total; a miniscule amount compared to other legendary filmmakers like John Ford [140], Alfred Hitchcock [53], Woody Allen [45 thus far], and Steven Spielberg [32 thus far]) and how vast the genres were. His filmography includes war, history epic, dark comedy, science fiction, period piece drama, and horror.
Listed below is my ranking from worst to best of Kubrick's films.
13. Fear and Desire (1953)
12. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
11. Barry Lyndon (1975)
10. Killer's Kiss (1955)
9. Lolita (1962)
8. Spartacus (1960)
7. Full Metal Jacket (1987)
6. A Clockwork Orange (1971)
5. Paths of Glory (1957)
4. The Shining (1980)
3. The Killing (1956)
2. Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
