I watched Barry Lyndon and really didn't care for it, plus I don't mind long movies but it didn't need to be 3 hours. I started reading the book and liked it a lot more- a lot of lines were lifted entirely verbatim, but there's more to the character of Barry Lyndon in the book where at least he's terrible in an interesting way. I don't know who to blame for how he turned out in the movie, but he acted like a long-suffering hero that turned out to be terrible in every lazy way possible, just like the rest of the characters. It was exhausting.
I also saw the Killing and I liked it a lot. It might even be my favorite Kubrick movie but don't kill me for saying that.
And I've seen the Mummy a few times before but never on the big screen and I never saw it when I was younger. I honestly just thought it was ok before, although I loved my boyfriend's enthusiasm for it. But seeing it on the big screen with a bunch of people who love it (and some even seeing it for the first time) has converted me, it looked incredible and was so much fun!
