I've never seen The Killing or all of Barry Lyndon, so I can't say on those, but Full Metal Jacket is not a great movie. It's a great first half of a movie, then it sucks. So that's my pick.

Blasphemy!!
I know we are giving our opinions so I will respect yours but have to disagree strongly.Not only is Full Metal Jacket my favorite Kubrick film, but it is one of my favorite films of all time. The second half does slow down a bit, but I think it is the best example in cinema of the true hell that fighting in the Vietnam war was.I could go on and on by breaking down specific scenes, etc., but I won't (it would be too long).
I don't think too many people on this board would agree with you that FMJ is "not a great movie".
ETA: Of the ones I've seen (missed a couple of the early ones) Barry Lyndon is my least favorite. I watched it probably about 10 years ago (or more) and I don't remember anything about it. Maybe I need to watch it again......

I agree, I've never liked the 2nd half of that movie at all.
