Don't get me wrong. I love that film, but to say that it's the best movie ever made is going overboard. The statement in itself, is overrated.

spartacus? surely a piece of crap.
however:
barry lyndon? an underrated masterpiece without question.
dr. strangelove? please, brother... that film is pure genius.
i won't go on and on. but the only cinematic turd kubrick ever issued was spartacus, and the one to blame for that is kirk douglas, not kubrick-- the fucker messed with the script, the production, the editing, etc.-- hammy motherfucker!

Agreed, but let's not forget that
Eyes Wide Shut was probably his weakest film.
Barry Lyndon was great! Strangelove? No doubt about it being genius.
As for some of the things others have posted in this thread? I'm not even gonna bother making a comment.
