    He made a couple of decent movies, but was always, in my opinion overrated.

    As an overrated Kubrick movie?

    Yes. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty good movie. But, to me, Kubrick's entire body of work is overrated.

    Loads of great films that could have been in your poll such as: "Life of Brian" and "The Ladykillers". One of the best comedies which I must watch again soon is "Wilt", a must see.

    On the contrary, from a film maker's aspect, he was brilliant.
