to appreciate more fully its visual & aural splendor, sly humor, & brilliant performances (even Ryan O'Neal's!). I've seen it probably a couple of dozen times (fortunately I have a video projector & 5-foot screen) & always come away more than a little awe-struck.

I actually envy someone like you, who comes to Barry Lyndon with fresh eyes. If at all possible, do try to watch it on a large-ish screen.
