Summary: Exquisite underappreciated masterpiece
Comment: An enchanting film. Endlessly watchable. Meticulously captures the melancholy beauty of a lost time.

Brilliant photographed. Very good reflexive performances. Striking directorial style. Completely absorbing. Among Kubrick's best work, if not his very best.

A sometimes forgotten masterpiece whose legacy should only increase over time.

Only perceived flaws are based on the viewer: If you are not in the mood for a leisurely paced film with unusual style and rhythm, you may find the film to be somewhat slow and boring. Otherwise, reserve a few hours and just sit back and let this film take you on it's sublime journey.

Summary: Masterpiece
Comment: The film portrays an unusual young Irish man, Redmond Barry, and his endeavours as he is forced to leave his home and tries to make good his life elsewhere. His life away from home starts out as a career in the British Army; only to evolve in surprising ways and lead to as different places as a position of trust within the Prussian Army and later a title of nobility, gained by what our time can only measure as rather disgraceful means. "Barry Lyndon is", amidst Kubricks' many masterpieces, a film so easily dismissed due to length and the fact that it is overshadowed by others, but I deeply recommend this film to anyone who would like to see a film both for the plot line, the story and the pure enjoyment of the images presented. Stanley Kubrick made many great films and this one is most definitely one of them! It's a pity Kubrick stopped making epics after this. Look at the ones he's responsible for: "Spartacus" (not a project Kubrick was fond of, admittedly, but still the most magnificent of all Roman epics) "2001" (the most magnificent of ALL epics), and "Barry Lyndon". The last of the three is by no means a poor cousin.

Summary: Great Story, Great Director, Great Movie
Comment: No problems here with this release. No real special features, but at least it's not one of those crappy snap cases.

Anyway, cinematography is A+, as well as the acting. This is one of the greater films from Stanley Kubrick because of its incredible story telling. It's long, but it's all good content. Watch this if you wanna see somethin' good.

Summary: Time to correct and enhance the DVD
Comment: It would be nice if someone could reissue the DVD with enhanced, repaired color and grain. Kubrick wanted Barry Lyndon to have a 'washed out' look but the DVD displays the clearly visible degradation of the original film negative.The same could be said for the 2001 DVD. Perhaps HD versions are already on their way!

Summary: MASTERPIECE
Comment: YES ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER. AFTER ALL ITS KUBRICK. THE ONLY FLAW EVIDENT IS THAT ITS NOT IN BLU-RAY...YET.
