Kubrick only made 9 films (inclusive) between Spartacus (1957) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999) — over 40 years.
2 of them — “Borey Lyndon” and “Eyes Wide Shut” sucked.

It was well known which movies he wanted to make, such as AI.

“Eyes Wide Shut” sucked.
Got that straight! That film actually managed to make sex boring.

2 of them — “Borey Lyndon” and “Eyes Wide Shut” sucked. I thought Barry Lyndon was a masterpiece. It is slow-moving, but is still a beautiful recreation of the 18th century. I agree about Eyes Wide Shut. I don't think all of Kubrick's films are masterpieces, but I thought Eyes Wide Shut was an outright dog.
From the sound of it, I think the unfilmed screenplay probably was dropped in favor of Lolita, which he filmed in 1962 (and which is a creepy and disturbing story IMO).

Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece. EWS looks better with every passing year.
