Sorry, but he is.
Poncy, overlong and dull movies for highbrow movie-posers to scratch their Spielberg beards to and say "Hmm, the imagery used to suggest the duality of our nature is brilliant, and the underlying themes of alienation are just perfect", whilst the rest of us sit there and think "This sucks, I could have watched American Pie 2"

2001:
The monkey bits are cool, but then it gets boring for ages in space and the ending is pure bollards. "Ah but it's left for your own interpretation". Yeah, whatever

Strangelove:
Peter Sellers is cool, and "You can't fight in there, this is the war room" is a good line, but c'mon..it's pants

The Shining:
This is actually not bad, which led me to believe that Kubrick didn't make this one really. Jack Nicholson is good, but he's just doing Jack Nicholson.
And, it's just not scary.

Full Metal Jacket:
The training camp is cool, but then it just turns into that old tv series about 'Nam that I can't remember the name of.
(Amusing fact: Private Pyle, the fat mental one is the guy in Men in Black that turns into the massive bug)

Barry Lyndon:
My head exploded waiting for something to happen in this one.

Spartacus:
It's alright, Kirk Douglas is cool but Gladiator did this much better

Eyes Wide Shut:
Awful, awful waste of 9hours. Tom and Mrs Tom go to a party and she says "I thoight about having that sailor"
Tom gets the hump and wanders about for ages looking confused.
The End.
(You dont see them nekkid that much so dont rent this)

There are others but I can't be bothered to make the effort to remember them.
Because Kubrick sucks.

I've always thought his films were terrible. They are always at least an hour too long.

Wouldn't be Tour of Duty would it??

Agree though, the Monkey bit at the start of 2001 is about the pinnacle of Kubrick. If he had just done that for 3hrs it would of been quite good really....
