Paths Of Glory is one of the greatest films of all time. Likewise Dr. Strangelove.

Spartacus is a very good epic.

I found Barry Lyndon unwatchable. Eyes Wide Shut was strange and shallow. Clockwork Orange just didn’t surprise or impress me. Steel Metal Jacket was an uneven effort, mixing humor and gore. All his films had their moments.

I could never get through Paths of Glory or Strangelove.

Moments shouldn’t account for the overblown reputation of Kubrick.

I won’t go into his treatment of women on the screen. I’ll just leave it at the word disguising.

Barry Lyndon took me a couple tries. It’s actually a comedy but the humor is very dry and messed up. His style was always a little off kilter, most of his movies need multiple viewings to find your footing.

Barry Lyndon? Sounds like a movie about the 1964 presidential election.
