Clockwork Orange was really good, but half of what made it that way was the fact that it was an excellent book - the same with the Shining, and 2001. Kubrick definitely had an influence on those, and a positive one, but a lot of the path to greatness was already laid out by the subject matter.
I voted for Strangelove because I think it carries more of Kubrick's stamp on it, and also because it's simultaneously funny and terrifying. I am a big fan of black comedies. Second place would go to Full Metal Jacket.
