In Reply to: Has anyone here seen Barry Lyndon??? posted by jthecamb on February 16, 2003 at 20:20:04:
I was begining to think I was the only person on planet Earth who liked Eyes Wide Shut. It's even better now becuse it kind of immortalises a relationship of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. Not tomension Kubrick himself.
My favorite in kind-of order are...
2001
Eyes Wide Shut
The Shining
Dr. Strangelove
Full Metal Jacket
Barry Lyndon is on the bottom of my Kubrick rubric. Like all his flicks, it's very long, but unlike his other flicks it dosent have the cool camera work or good pacing or sound that backs up the length. Normally the slow pace of his films is what makes them so fucking cool but this one just didn't do it for me.
If you wanna see a good and FUNNY Kubrick film, check out "Dr. Strangelove." Fuck Patton, this is George C. Scott at his best.
