If you loved Barry Lyndon, try Spartacus
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Stanley Kubrick, and they both carry the epic mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Barry Lyndon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Spartacus is
Ancient Italy, a gladiator's sword clashes, the sound of clanging steel echoes. A Thracian slave is trained to kill, then leads a rebellion against his Roman owners, swelling ranks of escaped slaves marching towards southern Italy. Kubrick directs a monumental tale of uprising.
