Eyes Wide Shut, After Hours, Good Time, The Conversation

I hope this isn't too off topic, as it is my first post here, but these connections came to me almost like in a dream

I know (because I've googled it) that other people found similitudes between Eyes Wide Shut and After Hours. That's an old one for me, as it's the one wild lost night in NY where the protagonist learns he has no control over the events that are now governing his life.

That reminds me of Good Time as well.

But this literal dream I had kind of mixed the energy of those movies (Eyes Wide Shut in particular) with the ending of The Conversation, where Gene Hackman tears down his own environment after an equally excruciating journey where, at the end, he finds himself equally as lost and out of control as the protagonists of the preeviously mentioned movies.

I was wondering what other connections do the fellow Kubrick fans here do in their minds, in this almost stream-of-consciousness exercise. I hope I'm not going on a tangent, if so, forgive me mods!

My hope is that through here we may all remember (or even discover) good movies based on each others Kubrick-lead-dreams
