"Full Metal Jacket" is a near-classic, as is "The Shining." And I would call them excellent but certainly not "unqualified successes." I do find "Barry Lyndon" beautiful to look at but deadingly dull. I find "Eyes Wide Shut" to be horribly pretentious and thoroughly disengaging.A film about an unpleasant subject can be thrilling, as Kubrick himself proved with his spendid "A Clockwork Orange" and "Paths of Glory."
Still, since he made so few films, of which nearly half I consider classic, he still goes down in my book as one of the all-time best directors.
