2 of them — “Borey Lyndon” and “Eyes Wide Shut” sucked.

I thought Barry Lyndon was a masterpiece. It is slow-moving, but is still a beautiful recreation of the 18th century. I agree about Eyes Wide Shut. I don't think all of Kubrick's films are masterpieces, but I thought Eyes Wide Shut was an outright dog.

From the sound of it, I think the unfilmed screenplay probably was dropped in favor of Lolita, which he filmed in 1962 (and which is a creepy and disturbing story IMO).

Too bad he decided to film the entire century in real time.

You have better stamina than most I suppose.
