re: Least Favorite Kubrick Film

I know Barry Lyndon was not successful at the box office, but I enjoyed it. My main complaint is that is is WAY too long.

I really enjoyed Barry Lyndon. It's length added to how epic it was for me. My one complaint about it would be Ryan O'neal. I read that Kubrick was more or less forced into casting him for the lead. Kubrick's original choice I think was rumored to be Robert Redford. O'neal did alright, but I would have been interested in seeing Redford there.

As for least favorite... It's hard to pick. I like all of them that I've seen, and there are still 2 or 3 that I haven't seen. Maybe Full Metal Jacket? I don't know. I still like that one a lot. Maybe it can be a little bit cheesy and over the top and therefore loses some effectiveness.

I don't really like saying "least favorite" about a movie that I still really enjoy, but there you go.
