I'm a pretty big fan of Kubrick's films, but had passed on this one back in the day and heard it had become popular lately. It didn't do well when it came out. I watched it finally last night and, well it was was pretty awesome. If you're a fan of 'period piece' movies, you gotta watch it.





In recent years, the film has gained a more positive reaction. As of October 2014 it holds a 96% "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 52 reviews, eight of which are from the site's "top critics."Roger Ebert added the film to his 'Great Movies' list on 9 September 2009, writing, "It defies us to care, it asks us to remain only observers of its stately elegance", and it "must be one of the most beautiful films ever made."

Director Martin Scorsese has named Barry Lyndon as his favorite Kubrick film.Quotations from its script have also appeared in such disparate works as Ridley Scott's The Duellists, Scorsese's The Age of Innocence, and Wes Anderson's Rushmore.

Part two of that is titled What the Swedish Butler Saw

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The filming of some of these scenes was pure genius.
