I also like the classical music in Barry Lyndon. It perfectly
enhances the mood throughout the movie.
Speaking of glorious cinematography, I recall reading that they had
to develop special wide-aperture lenses for that movie in order to
shoot the candlelight scenes without movie lights.
I think Barry Lyndon was the last Kubrick film that mesmerized me.

Coincidentally, I watched "Barry Lyndon" last week as a Netflix
rental, curious about whether my positive impressions of the film
still held up. They did. It's mesmerizing to me and I'd forgotten
that one of the big reasons why (besides its glorious
cinematography) -- is because it's narrated and easy to follow.
The pace of the picture, I don't even think about it -- because as
they say -- any movie that's good never feels bloated. It isn't
great acting, but it isn't bad either. Whatever happened to the
gorgeous Marisa Berenson, by the way?
