Your friends are right, 2001 is a must watch. Many consider it as the best of Kubrick's.

Maybe for you & for many others. Not for me. It's called an opinion.
There are many different thing that make a movie "genious" for me personally. Technical side is just one part.
Strangelove, Full Metal Jacket, Lolita, The Killing, Clockwork Orange, ... are great Kubrick movies imo.
Barry Lyndon, 2001, Eyes Wide Shut are not. Not saying that they're utter crap either, though that last one came pretty close.

Yeah... to have personal opinion is great. I also have mine about 2001 and I can't say that i like it very much and consider it as a one of my favourite moovies. But I have read some articles about that film, some facts wich couldn't be rejected, some reviews in magazines...and accroding to that i recognized that this film is tagged as the genious one, and I didn't find any clear contrarguments why it shouldn't. So conclusion is... i dont't like it but it's genious =)
For instance I like Fiat 500 because of weird funny shape and this Fiat's relation with Juve... But i can't reject the fact that Mersedes Mclaren are something else like that is better a little bit =)

Solomon Kane.
The main character is a mix between Aragorn and Van Helsing, and the plot is clichéd with the odd twist, but it moved at a steady pace, action scenes were pretty good for a moderate-spend fantasy film, and Peter Postlethwaite had a supporting role. So it wasn't all bad.
I'm quite easily entertained with the fantasy genre, it has to be said.

So I finished 2001 and I have no fucking idea what I just watched. Everything was making sense until the last 30min. I mean, the references to Homer and Nietzsche are pretty obvious, but what is the monolith?
If it's an alien form helping lesser evolved species up the ladder - like it does with the apes in the beginning - how does it help the Clavius moon team? Why is the HAL9000 crew even going to Jupiter?
