    But wait till you get a nice 100" screen or see it at the theater - that film must be enjoyed in large format. After you had enjoyed it that way once, you can repeat your experience on the normal TV, but the first time it must be spectacular.

      I'm sorry. I'll watch it with Masha. She likes period films.
      Plus all that "modern classic" stuff, you got me thinking.

        The DVD I got is atrocious. I don't know if there is better one out there, I need to search.

  is the most sumptuous film I've ever seen. In fact, it's the only film I've ever felt compelled to call 'sumptuous,' besides perhaps Russian Ark.

    for lack of a better word, I'd call The Vertical Ray of the Sun sumptuous, and perhaps my favorite "cult" film as well, seeing as my wife is the only one I know who shares my enthusiasm for it.

    Sumptuous is wrong for that, though. The sumptuousness of Barry Lyndon's dark, candle-lit interiors and overcast exteriors have an effect quite different from Vertical Ray, which is more light and luminous. Certainly both films are gorgeous.

    Well now I know what I'm gonna do when I get home.

    Thanks.

    It's my favorite Kubrick film. Sometimes. Sometimes it's 2001.

  Late is perfectly right in his appreciation of want a cult film should be. It is not a " favorite film "
  I am afraid I stand naked. I have none.
  Thirties years ago, I had one, it was Harold & Maud...with Cat´s´music and the dry humor. But it did not stant the test of my time.
  Barry is just to good to be a " cult " film. Most cult film are appreciated without real reason..just so..by the mood of the people who suddenly decide....That the FILM..it is a bit like falling in love....without any logical reason..Vic you and me, are to old for this..Aren´t we?

  • My interpretation of a cult film - edta 18:10:32 11/06/03 (0)

    It is relatively unsuccessful OR unappreciated when released, but gains more fans in the years AFTER release. I believe Barry Lyndon was , perhaps, moderately successful, but unappreciated critically, at the time. It is a quite worthwhile film IMO. Not a problem to include it in cult films as I see them.

    Tandis que le coeur batte... et on peut regarder les jeunes filles en fleur... Tandis que la sang s'ecoule par les veins... la follie peut caresser nos coeurs avec sa douce tendresse... et nous faire dancer la dance fébrile de l'amour... Fous!... douce follie, reviens!

    Can´t remember where I read that..., or something resembling it. But I liked it at then...
