Barry Lyndon 1975
A chaotic, rollercoaster-like journey—a true rags-to-riches tale. A quest for grandeur that culminates in tragedy, deception, and chaos.

Flips the previous films on its head—a fun reversal where the apes are the dominant force, and, like us, struggle to learn the lessons of history. Visually, it's absurdly good. I've always said that I prefer to watch merely…
