2001: A Space Odyssey
The Legend badge is hard to earn. 2001: A Space Odyssey's 69% record across 55 matchups reflects consistent, broad-based appeal — well above the 50% that would mean winning as often as losing. Kubrick built a film that asks voters to sit with silence, abstraction, and deep time — and the ones who accept that invitation treat it as the single greatest achievement in cinema. That devotion is nearly impossible to outvote. It is the top-rated Stanley Kubrick film on BingeBracket. Voters pick in 1.8s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.
Synopsis
Humanity finds a mysterious object buried beneath the lunar surface and sets off to find its origins with the help of HAL 9000, the world's most advanced super computer.
No round offers relief to opponents. 69% opening, 61% semis, 82% finals — 2001: A Space Odyssey is as dangerous in the first matchup as it is in the last.
The 80% rate against Eyes Wide Shut is among the most lopsided in 2001: A Space Odyssey's history. A Clockwork Orange at 71% is another comfortable win.
2001: A Space Odyssey leads all 8 Stanley Kubrick films on BingeBracket. The runner-up is Eyes Wide Shut at 54%.
