I hated Eyes Wide Shut the first and only time I ever watched it. I liked the cinematography, and the story started off interesting enough, but when the plot ended up going literally nowhere all I felt was cheated and ripped off, that I'd wasted 159 minutes on fuck-all. I've been ambivalent towards Kubrick and his work ever since.

I used to like The Shining a lot more than I do now. Ever since I've read the novel, though, I haven't been able to see it as anything more than a beautiful car with no engine.

I actually like 2001 a helluvalot more than I used to. As a kid it bored me to tears with it's slow pace and incomprehensible plot. I've come to appreciate it and even like it, though, as the novel helped explain the bizarre sequence of events, and because I'm no longer a slave to lineral storytelling.
