Its a really, really wonderful flick. Exquisite, brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to last.
I am one who thinks
2001 is a bit overrated and over-hyped. This one is definitely above that.
As regards the other two, maybe on par or just below
A Clockwork Orange and
Paths of Glory (which is undoubtedly the best take on anti-war I ve seen, ever) and definitely a big notch below
Dr Strangelove, which I consider to be the best Kubrick has ever done.
This would be my Kubrick preference chart :-
- Dr Strangelove
A Clockwork Orange
Paths of Glory
The Killing
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Barry Lyndon
2001 A Space Odyssey
...in that order.
The rest of his flicks come below all those.
