In Reply to: "Eyes Wide Shut". Watched This Film Again A While.... posted by AudioHead on June 5, 2004 at 15:57:22:
One hoped he would go out with a bang, not a whimper.His legacy survives thanks to "Lolita", "Paths of Glory", "Spartacus", "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shining" and his 2
masterpieces, "Dr. Strangelove" and "2001." He made only a dozen films. The fact that more than half are considered "classics" is a remarkable achievement. I can forgive him for the "Barry Lyndon" and "Eyes Wide Shut" debacles.
