Almost every Kubrick film has grown in stature years AFTER their initial releases, and EYES improves like a fine-wine with subsequent viewings (I just noticed something in the production design that I'd never seen before while watching the DVD the other day- in the opening party sequence, almost all of the Xmas-tree lighting fixtures hanging throughout the party are shaped like gigantic female breasts). I think EYES WIDE SHUT may well follow the same route, although I suspect that Kubrick would have kept tinkering with it in the 4-months between his death and its release had he lived and the final film would have been more streamlined.

: He's only made one film that isnt a classic (Eyes Wide Shut). Like Coppola has made classics like the Godfather Trilogy, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now, but Kubrick has made even more classics. EWS is good, but not a classic like the rest.
