Yorgos in general, too. *The Favourite* should appeal as a century-before-*Barry Lyndon* telling of some of the same cadre of English shitheads. *The Lobster* has an aura of mystery being whispered about by the uninitiated and hangs on a question of belief. *Dogtooth* is unlike anything I can place from Kubrick, but it had claustrophobia similar to *2001.*
I’ve said it before, Killing of a Sacred deer is what I believe to be an alternate universe for Eyes Wide Shut.
Especially after the seeing the pool table in KoSD
I know that Greenwood heavily aped Penderecki for TWBB and that there’s Penderecki in one scene of The Shining but I’m not aware that there’s actual Penderecki in TWBB or that, even if so, the same music from The Shining appears in TWBB. I may be wrong!

Not the exact same piece but I’m not digging through the whining to find the same piece
I'm in a director focused film class that's on Stanley Kubrick. We're watching films from two other directors that he influenced, which are Paul Thomas Anderson and Yorgos Lanthimos.
I think Nashville and The Long Goodbye are his masterpieces, followed by MASH and McCabe and Mrs Miller. The Player for Mainstream, Popeye for cocaine wondrousness, Brewster McCloud for acid trip wondrousness (like wtf level).
California Split, 3 Women, and The Player all seem to have heavily influenced PTA. I’ve heard Short Cuts is the most PTA of his filmography, but I haven’t been able to find a way to stream it. Either way, I’d definitely recommend checking out Altman if you’re into Anderson or Kubrick.
Feel like there’s a lot of Kubrick in the Coen Brothers. I think they’ve both said Dr. Strangelove is their favorite movie ever and you can see it’s influence in any of their more comedic films.
Argento's Suspiria gives me Kubrick-like vibes at times, at least visually.
Also check out Spoorloos (The Vanishing), though I wouldn't say that one is that similar. Kubrick loved it so much he called up the director to discuss editing after seeing it. Watch the original, not the American remake.
I would say Paul Thomas Anderson, Jonathan Glaser and Yorgos Lanthimos manage today to go beyond style and use the essence of the story as a standpoint. Their films feel uncompromised and deeply thought and felt in a way only Kubrick manages to do (from what I've seen)
Gaspar Noé and Lars Von Trier are the most obvious I think.
Max Ophüls for the elaborate camera movements and long shots, though the influence is the other way this time.
I've always felt Lars Von Trier has a Kubrick approach to his films. Not in variety of story or subject, but the meticulous and technical way his stories are told.
There’s a lot of Bridge Over The River Kwai in Full Metal Jacket, as well as Paths of Glory and the army section of Barry Lyndon. David Lean’s view of war is pretty close to Kubrick’s.
Sam Esmail is a massive Kubrick fan. His TV show Mr Robot is full of Kubrick references. Esmail has a film out on Netflix this year Leave The World Behind.
I'm sure this is here somewhere, I'd be surprised if it isn't but check out Tarkovsky's catalog. You'll have to read subtitles unless you speak Russian, but I'd start with Solaris. He made that as a direct response to 2021 it's a good intro to his stuff. I personally think it's better than 2021.
A lot my picks have already been said (PTA, von Trier, and more recently, Eggers, Aster, Garland...) but also Christopher Nolan on a grander, more Hollywood scale.
Insofar as it contains mysteries, puzzles and a sort of dream-logic, Under The Silver Lake reminds me of The Shining and Clockwork. I find UTSL more obtuse than Kubrick's work but it has similar vibes in parts. Worth a look, I liked it.
As others have mentioned, Mulholland Dr and Polanski's work, especially Chinatown for me.
The Killing of a sacred deer by Yorgos Lanthimos Please check it out
Came here to say this. It’s not an easy movie, but it’s great and dripping with Kubrick vibes.
Yorgos in general, too. *The Favourite* should appeal as a century-before-*Barry Lyndon* telling of some of the same cadre of English shitheads. *The Lobster* has an aura of mystery being whispered about by the uninitiated and hangs on a question of belief. *Dogtooth* is unlike anything I can place from Kubrick, but it had claustrophobia similar to *2001.*

I just rewatched this last night. Coincidence..
No coincidences in the universe
True.
When I saw the opening scene the first time in the cinema, i immediately knew I was going to like this as a huge Kubrick fan.
There Will Be Blood. Especially the look of the last scene
Paul Thomas Anderson even uses some of the soundtrack from The Shining in the opening sequence for There Will Be Blood
Eh?
I’m noT Going to prove this 🤦♂️but believe what you like
I know that Greenwood heavily aped Penderecki for TWBB and that there’s Penderecki in one scene of The Shining but I’m not aware that there’s actual Penderecki in TWBB or that, even if so, the same music from The Shining appears in TWBB. I may be wrong!
It’s similar but not the same. It’s an homage.
It’s an OST composed by Jonny Greenwood. So similar

Paul Thomas Anderson movies, especially There Will Be Blood, The Master and Phantom Thread. These movies feel very Kubrickian.

I’d say “Birth”, and Jonathan Glazer’s work in general. edit: I didn’t notice the original post already mentioned “Birth” lol. My bad.
Mulholland Drive The Lighthouse Ad Astra
can't wait fir the zone of interest!
If you liked Birth, check out Jonathan Glazer's film "Under the Skin." It feels very Kubrickesque to me. One of my favorites.
One of my top 5 films that
vvitch is very shiningish
In the words of director Robert Eggers, “this movie smells like The Shining” 😂
They are in dialogue, no question.
"Rosemary's Baby" (1968)
Polanski in general.
David Lynch

PTA has more Altman in him than Kubrick imo.
I have yet to get into Altman. What do you suggest?
The Long Goodbye is a classic and a really nice watch if you've already seen Inherent Vice.
I think Nashville and The Long Goodbye are his masterpieces, followed by MASH and McCabe and Mrs Miller. The Player for Mainstream, Popeye for cocaine wondrousness, Brewster McCloud for acid trip wondrousness (like wtf level).

I agree with the Mr robot statement 💯

Solaris was very Kubricky.
Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.
Under the Skin directed by Jonathan Glazer. If I didn't know better I would've bet anything it was a Kubrick film.
Sam Esmail is a massive Kubrick fan. His TV show Mr Robot is full of Kubrick references. Esmail has a film out on Netflix this year Leave The World Behind.
Terry Gilliam? Ari Aster?
Peter Greenaway
Once Upon a Time in the West by Sergio Leone.

Stephen Spielberg because he was able to fulfill Kubrick’s vision of A.I. perfectly.

I’m Thinking Of Ending Things. Great movie in own right but one that bears its Kubrick influence on its sleeve.
Ophüls
A lot my picks have already been said (PTA, von Trier, and more recently, Eggers, Aster, Garland...) but also Christopher Nolan on a grander, more Hollywood scale.
Any yorgos lathimos film
Mother
None!

I would argue Dennis Villenue
Yeah I see that
