Barry Lyndon
Taking William Thackery's ironical novel as a starting point, dir. Kubrick's immaculate period piece sprawls across 18th century Europe and remains unmatched for evocative visuals and impeccable design, though some may find its languorous pace a long haul over three hours. Ryan O'Neal plays the unscrupulous title character who leaves Ireland in search of pleasure and fortune. Also stars Patrick Magee, Marisa Berenson.
