How does an Irish lad without prospect (Ryan O'Neal) become part of 18th-century English nobility? Any deceitful, diabolical way he can! An awesomely beautiful, hauntingly romantic adaptation of the classic book with a texture and feel unlike any other historical movie ever made. Winner of 4 Academy Awards!

Movie jewel turns into DVD crap... - 2 out of 5 (7/22/1999)
Color fidelity is poor. Flesh tone is very poor. All the details are lost in the irritating digital artifacts. Maybe Warner didn't have much time for the production before EYES WIDE SHUT, or maybe the quality of the old, Kubrick-approved videomaster was not kept well. But who can forgive THIS very bad bad thing? In fact, this is one of the worst DVDs I've ever seen. And the film itself is one of the best. Stick to laserdisc.

One of the best period films ever made. - 3.5 out of 5 (7/11/1999)
Stanley Kubrick's lone period drama, Barry Lyndon, represents to me the way the genre should always be. It's beautifully photographed, with richly designed costumes and sets, with strong acting, but with a terrific story at its core to anchor the movie. It unfolds at a deliberate pace, but never feels slow, and never becomes uninteresting. I remember seeing this movie as a child, before I knew who Stanley Kubrick was, and being mesmerized and entertained by this historical epic.
