Stanley Kubrick directed 13 feature films, from Fear and Desire in 1953 to Eyes Wide Shut in 1999. On October 11, 2026, 11 of them streamed with a US subscription, 8 were free with ads, and 13 could be rented or bought digitally. Each one is listed below with the services that had it.
Streaming catalogs reshuffle every month, so the film titles link to JustWatch, which keeps a daily record of where each one is available in the US. This guide reflects a check made on October 11, 2026.
Where to stream Stanley Kubrick movies: the full list
The filmography follows the directing credits on Kubrick’s Rotten Tomatoes page, with Rotten Tomatoes’ years. Only feature films are counted, so the three short films on that page, Day of the Fight, Flying Padre and The Seafarers, are left out. Live-TV packages, cable-login apps and disc stores are not counted; “Rent or buy” covers the main digital stores.

The longest wait between two of his films was 12 years, between Full Metal Jacket (1987) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Kirk Douglas is in the top-billed cast JustWatch lists for Paths of Glory and Spartacus, and Sterling Hayden for The Killing and Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
If you are starting out, Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Shining make a good first four. We have also looked at the ending of A Clockwork Orange and at why Eyes Wide Shut feels like a nightmare without monsters.
