Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Charles Chaplin had a near-genius IQ, just like Kubrick, but

all of Mr. Chaplin's works are very accessible. You are confusing intelligence with elitism.

I would also think that most great directors are of above average intelligence. Bergman, Fellini(sp?), Kurosawa, Capra, Stevens, Nicholas Ray, John Boorman, and (name your favorite here) are just a few examples. They would need be in order to handle both the cinema aspects as well as the storytelling.

IMHO, Kubrick did not make a single wholly successful film after "Clockwork Orange." He substituted length and setting for good storytelling and lost much of his audience. It's a shame that his career ended with "Eyes Wide Shut." He started out so brilliantly and ended up as Zalman King with a bigger budget.

A pity.
