I personally think that Full Metal Jacket is overrated. First half was great but after that it definitely dropped off. I really enjoyed all the others, but unfortunately I haven't yet seen Spartacus which isn't a pure Kubrick project. My favorite Kubrick's would be: 1)Clockwork Orange 2)The Shining 3)Eyes Wide Shut 4)The Killing 5)2001 Space Odyssey 6)Paths of Glory 7)Dr Strangeglove. Of course these could all easily be interchanged since they are all wonderful movies.
I agree about his films being almost interchangeable because of the sheer consistency; I neglected The Killing and Paths of Glory because I haven't been able to see them yet. I'm sure they could very well displace some of the other films here.

Very close to my Kubrick list. He's the greatest director to have lived on this planet. PERIOD. ( my opinion of course)
Yes! I place Kubrick and Welles side by side. Eyes Wide Shut--very underrated.

Yes, Eyes Wide Shut is very great.
