(31,893 posts)The two on your list that I've seen are 2001, A Space Odyssey and Eyes Wide Shut (if I'm recalling correcting that it's that weird movie directed by Kubrick with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman).
Wizards and Treasure Planet are two I can't remember ever hearing about, and I don't know anything at all about them.
Of the two I've seen - Eyes Wide Shut just seemed really weird. I kept thinking there must be some kind of profound point that Kubrick was trying to make, but I couldn't figure out what the hell it might be.
2001, on the other hand, I will always think of fondly. But I suppose it's because of the times. I saw it at a Cinerama theater when it first came out, with a group of friends and we were all tripping on acid. I saw it 4 times altogether that year, but it was always when I was either very stoned or tripping. Each time was a fabulous experience - maybe not so much because it was a particularly good movie, but it most certainly was a movie that lent itself to having an intense psychedelic experience.
