Stanley Kubrick considered his last film Eyes Wide Shut to be his 'greatest' contribution to cinema, but he was mistaken about the film's impact.
Stanley Kubrick felt his last movie would turn out to be his best, but this wasn't ultimately the case. For a filmmaker who had such an impact on the medium, Kubrick didn't make that many movies. Later in his career, he also became famous for the lengthy gaps between projects. For instance, it took 12 years for him to follow up Full Metal Jacket with Eyes Wide Shut.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 2001: A Space Odyssey had a seismic impact on the sci-fi genre, and critics and viewers continue to puzzle over it. With The Shining, Kubrick set out to make one of the best horror movies of all time, and while author Stephen King would disagree, he certainly achieved that goal.
Why Eyes Wide Shut Is Not The Best Kubrick Film To be clear, Eyes Wide Shut is an INCREDIBLE movie. It's a fascinating, dreamy descent into a hellish underworld for its main character. Cruise and Kidman turn in some of their most vulnerable work as actors, the cinematography and design are gorgeous and the film leaves it up to audiences to interpret its meanings.
What should be regarded as Kubrick's best film is entirely subjective, of course. Dr. Strangelove is one of the most perfectly formed dark comedies of all time. In terms of popular culture, pretty much every frame of The Shining - from the Grady Twins to the elevator of blood or "Here's Johnny!" - has imprinted itself in the collective consciousness. Few films will ever rival 2001's impact on a genre or the controversy raised by A Clockwork Orange.
