Eyes Wide Shut (if I'm recalling correcting that it's that weird movie directed by Kubrick with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman)... 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.

You remember correctly, and if there was a point, I missed it.

Wizards Ralph Bakshi animated film from the late 70s.

Treasure Planet was a bad Disney animated film from a little over 10 years ago. It tries do a remake of Treasure Island, but in space.

I've never taken acid (not a judgment; just a statement). I'd bet it improves 2001.
