Yes. Yes. And most especially YES. "Lyndon" is Kubrick's best film. In a just world, Best Picture, by fucking far. But it was up against "Jaws," "Dog Day Afternoon," "Nashville," and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," which won. Today, "Jaws" would win.

Agreed. But I thought the early scene of Cruise and Kidman at the posh X-mas party, where they each flirt heavily with other people, was very erotic. Very.
