That opinion is RIDICULOUS. In the sense of deserving and inspiring ridicule. BARRY LYNDON is a wonderful film. Deliberate doesn't always mean slow. Gorgeous it is, and there is no better self-evident example of the moralism that Kubrick represented.

I first saw it on Christmas night, 1975 at the Wilshire Theater in Dallas, Texas. The folks from Warners had been there to tune their system to perfection for the Dallas market.

Thanks to a generous friend of a member of this list, who worked with Kubrick, I was
able to have him sign a one sheet for the film for me.

I was just reading Bruce's latest club email, and I was appalled to learn that Barry Lyndon was voted Kubrick's worst film. That is a great movie!!! What is the world coming to??!!!
