Both directed by Guy Ritchie. Both those films had some great dialogue. His latest two, Swept Away, and Revolver, I haven't seen. Not planning on seeing Swept Away (cause I have heard nothing good) but I will give Revolver a shot. Have you seen Snatch, or Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels? Both directed by Guy Ritchie.

I compared it to the previous shorter version that's been around for the past 30 years. When I first saw the special edition, I thought it improved on the movie by explaining things that didn't make a lot of sense before. But now I can see why those original cuts were made --- they speed up the movie, get to the good stuff quicker. And those cuts didn't really take away anything essential. I like the new cut of the movie, but I think I prefer the old version. I watched “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” again last night, the special extended edition.

Most of the movies on my list are pretty mainstream, not too challenging to a general audience (I don't think so, anyway). I tried to watch "Barry Lyndon" a few years ago, and couldn't get through the first 20 minutes. That was on VHS. Someday when I have nothing better to do, I'll try it again on DVD. “Eyes Wide Shut” is probably the most challenging movie on the list, but I love the way the camera moves, among other things.

I think Kubrick was the foremost director of our time, but very hit or miss. No amount of extra viewings could improve Barry Lyndon. Guess i can give Eyes Wide Shut another try.
