Best use of 3+ hours of film (other than Magnolia)?

What part of that contradicted anything I said?

Kubrick was highly confident while making the film and had all the time to make the film. He was just dissapointed by its dismal business and that he had to do this film in place of his Napolean project.

Its just in your opinion Barry Lyndon was the better choice.

Wrong, Napoleon was supossed to follow 2001: ASO, he didn't make the film because of the box office failure of Waterloo, instead he turned his eyes into a little novel called A Clockwork Orange, and I think he did more than fine with that choice.

As you can read, you said he did BL instead of Napoleon which is wrong, he did ACO instead of his Napoleon project, and I never said that BL was a better choice than Napoleon, just that with his choice of ACO he did more than fine. Maybe I sounded a little harsh though.

Fernando,

I am not merely saying he did BL instead of Napolean, but that he had to. The part of the sentence, "that he had to", refers to his history of not getting funding for Napolean and forced to search out other projects.

Has anyone seen this or know where I can get my hands on a copy??

Yes, you can purchase it at Blockbuster and, oddly enough, it fits on one VHS tape.

I was thinking of doing that, but when I went they only had that silly "widescreen" version-- I mean, why would you not want only 1/2 the image with those black bars all over the screen? Those guys need to get their act together!

Yeah man, the Blockbuster I went to only had the widescreen edition and it came with a free hooker. I promptly complained to the manager.

Yeah, that Bozo shit sure is funny, keep it up, you might win a prize.

[Find Your Magali]

Well ... "Shoah" and "The Sorrow and the Pity" both belong in this thread, for sure.

"Shoah" and "The Sorrow and the Pity"

If I had bought those movies and watched them, I'd agree with you.

[MacGuffin]

"Heat," if you also watch the trailer a couple times.
