I think Barry Lyndon is Stanley Kubrick's true masterpiece. I find the cinematography, depth, and humor of the film unbeatable as Kubrick creates a special light that manages to work for this film. Every scene and frame could be a painting, which shows how well done this film is. The costumes and sets are lavish while the musical scoring feels like a marvel.
I've heard some complaints regarding the pacing and the runtime of Barry Lyndon, and while it is three hours long, it is quite entertaining.
