Each one of Kubrick's movies had subtle visual elements that made the audience realise it was one of his. For example, it was known that Kubrick used one-point perspective meaning that the shot would be focused on something in the background while the scene happened in the foreground; it was this technique for which he became famous. He also used a POV (point of view) shot at least once every film.
Kubrick's films are almost always about humans and their gradual regression;
'The Killing' showed a character by the name of Johnny Clay, a man who planned to rob two-million dollars from the counting room at a race track but untimely ends up getting arrested. "The Shining" showed the character Jack Torrance who stays in a hotel, goes insane, attempts to murder his family but ends up freezing to death in the snow and lastly "A Clockwork Orange" is about Alex Delarge, a teen who loves murder and rape, goes through a curing process but it is heavily implied he regresses to his earlier stage of murder and rape at the end of the film.
Kubrick's most recurring cast member in all of his films was his own daughter Vivian Kubrick who made music scores for him, acted in the form of cameos and even directed her own documentary on the making of 'The Shining".
Overall Kubrick directed 16 movies from 1951 - 1999
