The Shining and A Clockwork Orange were panned by a lot of critics when they first came out in theaters. In fact, some actors even boycotted the Oscars the year A Clockwork Orange was nominated because of its subject matter and the fact that it wasn't nearly as highly regarded today as it was then.
Some movies are like a bottle of wine….they taste better as the years go by.

Neither are especially highly regarded today aside from Kubrick fans (admittedly, there are a lot of those)

True and thats why he changed his opinion on several movies that he regarded as average and put them on his Great Movies list (like Unforgiven and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly). He still has not changed or reanalyzed his A Clockwork Orange. His review of said movie is way off and should be changed:
Clockwork Orange review
Speaking of great movies, IMHO he has a few of those wrong as well.
Adaptation should not be on there, it is not a great movie. Being John Malkovich > Adaptation.
De Palma's Blow-out deserves to be on that list. He just did not want to put it on there right next to Blow-up. Blow-out was heavily influenced by Blow-up.
In The Mood for Love should be on there...clearly.
He already has a few Kubricks on there but Clockwork Orange is not one. The Shining is, however, included. I think thats deserving as it is one of the great horror films all time.
