I had saved watching Lyndon for years and years. Finally cashed it in to start this year.

Pretty clear Kubrick had better ideas about a Napoleon movie he couldn't get made. He wanted to use that research to direct Thackeray's Vanity Fair but it became a TV show. So he settled for a different Thackeray novel. Ryan O'Neal had and gave nothing. Kubrick knew it as well and resented him for it. I don't understand the contrarianism tbh.

Impeccably shot and pushed the technology forward but I don't think it's anywhere close to his best movies. I watched Eyes Wide Shut 24 hours earlier. Night and day. The Killing is my underrated Kubrick.

A lot of the ones that come to mind are the "just as good as anything else they made" types. The Man Who Wasn't There for the Coens. Catch Me If You Can for Spielberg. Bound is just as good as The Matrix. I do think 2049 stands above the rest of Denis' work however. Firmly.

Yeah that’s fair. I disagree, absolutely love the O’Neil performance. Meek and pathetic while capable of causing an extraordinary amount of emotional damage. It’s the most a Kubrick movie has effected me emotionally which is really saying something

The tonal contrast between Barry’s duel early in the movie when he’s young and brash vs the way the last duel plays out is one of the most thematically effective things I’ve seen in a movie

Body Double by De Palma

Manhunter by M Mann

Came here to say these

Love these . Insomnia in particular is pretty underrated

Not a big fan tbh. Memento fire though

Yeah memento is definitely better. I definitely like crazed sleep deprived Pacino tho

The ending is one thing Kubrick did rebuild. Definitely one of the highlights of the movie. Can't say I was ever emotionally invested so to each their own.

The original Insomnia is much more interesting. Nolan's just feels like prep work for Batman.
