Dr. Strangelove wasn't bad, but wasn't a classic IMO. Full ****l Jacket - the movie should have stopped when R. Lee Ermey was shot. His performance, as well as D'Onofrio's performance, were two of the best that I've ever seen. The Shining was good, not great, but definitely worth watching. One thing I like about Kubrick is that he didn't need to switch the camera angle every second. I hate that about movies nowadays, and I feel like it is done to cover up shitty directing.
But I respect other people's opinions, even if they differ from mine. That's why movies are great - they are left up to interpretation.

How about his other films?
Killer's Kiss
The Killing
Paths of Glory
Spartacus
Lolita
Barry Lyndon
Eyes Wide Shut
Have you seen those, and if so, what'd you think?
It's one thing to think Kubrick's overrated, but I'm surprised at how much you dislike him. Then again, I'm sure someone could read my post about John Ford and say the same thing
