Same with his last film, "A Passage to India".

I remember watching both of them, and being disappointed with no desire ever to see them again. Whereas I've watched Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago multiple times each.

Maybe the common thread was Alec Guinness, who was in all of them, though he was the lead in only one of them (and won his Best Actor Oscar).
