I have read that many of these blu-ray kubrick films are not his preferred aspect ratio. here is a quote from lean vitali:
"From The Shining and Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley had marks on the camera lens so he could see where the 1.85 lines. He composed his shots for 1.66, which is the full screen, but he wouldn't be hurt by going to 1.85 if he had to do it." So the blu-ray releases with 1.85 frame, he could live with, because theaters could only show them that way. but artistically he preferred them as 1.66 ... as his fan, that means I prefer it too. if you look at the comparisons in still frame you see a huge difference, the compositions are way better and powerful at their original frame. so these ones are butchered: Paths of Glory (cropped to 1.66 from full screen) Eyes wide shut (1.85) Shining (1.85) Full Metal Jacket (1.85) Barry Lyndon (1.85) are not Kubrick's preferred aspect ratio and: Clockwork Orange 2001 Dr strangelove Spartacus are correct. not sure (can someone say?) Lolita I think they only released the butchered ones as a business decision, to fill the HD screen. to get the correct ones we have to go back to the dvds released in the early 2000's. but they probably look awful.. everythings a compromise. what should us purist fans do??
