I've only seen Barry Lyndon once, if you can believe it. There's another one I really need to see again. It seems to have really risen in the popular estimation over the last decade

Outside of 2001 being my personal favorite, I just have no idea how to rank his work. It's all fucking brilliant. At least the stuff I've seen.

I’ve seen it two or three times and remember James Woods in a trench coat in the desert, and that’s about it. I’ll give it another shot at some point, maybe it’ll take a place above Dark Star or Christine
