ALL STANLEY KUBRICK MOVIES, RANKED BY TOMATOMETER

Eyes Wide Shut celebrates its 25th anniversary!

Stanley Kubrick is one of the most influential directors in movie history,
working across a remarkable number of genres. He began with noirs like The
Killing and Fear and Desire, before moving to big blockbuster filmmaking in
Spartacus. Paths of Glory and Dr. Strangelove take very different viewpoints on
war. And the end-of-the-’60s’ 2001: A Space Odyssey remains his opus, and still
casts a looming shadow over movies today. Meanwhile, adaptations of A Clockwork
Orange and The Shining are dark masterpieces. And now we celebrate a legend of
film as we rank all Stanley Kubrick movies by Tomatometer! —Alex Vo

#2



PATHS OF GLORY (1957)
96%

#2
Adjusted Score: 107415%

ending.

Menjou) orders his subordinate, General Mireau (George Macready), to attack a...

#3



THE KILLING (1956)
96%

#3
Adjusted Score: 102943%
Critics Consensus: An expertly crafted noir with more on its mind than stylishly
staged violence, The Killing establishes Stanley Kubrick as a filmmaker of
uncommon vision and control.

(Timothy Carey), a crooked police officer (Ted de Corsia), a bartender... [More]

92%

#5

the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short... [More]
Starring: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Daniel Richter
Directed By: Stanley Kubrick

#6



LOLITA (1962)
91%

#6
Adjusted Score: 95976%
Critics Consensus: Kubrick's Lolita adapts its seemingly unadaptable source
material with a sly comedic touch and a sterling performance by James Mason that
transforms the controversial novel into something refreshingly new without
sacrificing its essential edge.
Synopsis: With a screenplay penned by the author himself, Stanley Kubrick brings
Vladimir Nabokov's controversial tale of forbidden love to the... [More]
Starring: James Mason, Shelley Winters, Sue Lyon, Peter Sellers
Directed By: Stanley Kubrick

#7



FULL METAL JACKET (1987)
90%

#7
Adjusted Score: 97971%
Critics Consensus: Intense, tightly constructed, and darkly comic at times,
Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket may not boast the most original of themes,
but it is exceedingly effective at communicating them.
Synopsis: Stanley Kubrick's take on the Vietnam War follows smart-aleck Private
Davis (Matthew Modine), quickly christened "Joker" by his foul-mouthed drill...
[More]
Starring: Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, R. Lee Ermey

English nobility? For Barry Lyndon (Ryan O'Neal) the answer... [More]

#9



A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)
86%

#9
Adjusted Score: 96002%

cold, dystopian nightmare with a very dark sense of humor.

spend their nights getting high at the Korova... [More]
Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Michael Bates, Warren Clarke
Directed By: Stanley Kubrick

#10



THE SHINING (1980)
83%

#10
Adjusted Score: 94584%
Critics Consensus: Though it deviates from Stephen King's novel, Stanley
Kubrick's The Shining is a chilling, often baroque journey into madness --
exemplified by an unforgettable turn from Jack Nicholson.
Synopsis: Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) becomes winter caretaker at the
isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado, hoping to cure his writer's block....
[More]
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scatman Crothers
