Anyone like documentaries?

I usually hate them, but after I saw Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy I began to change my mind.

I really suggest you see it.

Picking a single "favorite" is well-nigh impossible. Even picking a single movie for a specific category is difficult, but to name a movie I most enjoy repeatedly watching (what I most associate with "favorite") I would have to say Barry Lyndon for its stunningly filmed scenes (including, but not limited to, it's revolutionary candle-lit interiors), its subtle dry and satirical humor, well chosen musical score, messages on futile class struggle and worlds built on lies, not terribly deep but still present subtext covering Barry's rise and fall, and much criticized but in truth excellent casting. I also admire it for being a well-done screen adaptation of a book. Getting down even further, my two favorite scenes are Bryan's death (the best dramatic performance Ryan O'Neal has ever given, in my opinion) and Lady Lyndon's signing of Barry's annuity (it speaks volumes about the situation and feelings of those involved without saying a single word, I believe the most desirable quality a movie scene can possess).

Are you a fan of other Kubrick films too? Amazingly, I haven't seen Barry Lyndon; I'll have to check that one out.
 
Yes, indeed I am a Kubrick fan. The only movie I've not seen of his is his earliest, Fear and Desire. I've only seen two of them theatrically, 2001: ASO and his last, Eyes Wide Shut. I'd love to see a good print of Barry Lyndon. It was re-released some time ago at the Egyptian, I think, but while I will concede to driving to New York for a movie, California's a bit far even for me. :)
