My opinion of the Kubick films I've seen:

Dr Strangelove: Mildly interesting
2001: Classic
The Shining: Not impressed
Full Metal Jacket: Classic

I bought the 4K version of Sparticus,having seen comments that it's a great film *and* that the 4K version is amazing. But I haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

Did you ever see

“A Giant Leap for Mankind?”

I bought the 4K version of Spartacus, having seen comments that it's a great film *and* that the 4K version is amazing. But I haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

Just keep in mind that blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo played fast and loose with the historical facts in an attempt to draw parallels with the Roman Republic and the Hollywood blacklist. Still a great epic film. I have not gone 4K but I do have the restored Blu-ray (there was an earlier Blu-ray that was an abomination). The restored Blu-ray looks and sounds great and I am sure the 4K does as well. I also saw the film when it was released theatrically after its restoration.

If you like film noir, Kubrick's The Killing is quite worthwhile, IMO.

Highly recommend Paths of Glory.

If you’ve not seen it, Barry Lyndon is excellent.
