    I love that movie I remember the first time I saw it I was like 8 years old and I really didnt understand the whole concept but after seeing it again a couple years later I understood it all. Clock work orange is a great classic..

    Great flick! Although I am partial to Kubrick's work. I dont own it but it certainly is on my wish list.

    The film was good, though the end was a little too long. I like the book more.

    Watched this again the other night. I must've seen it 15 times and it amazes me every time. There's no other film like it. Nothing else sounds like it, nothing looks like it, nothing else deals with its themes in this way. Kubrick at his best.

    Wow, what kind of theater plays something like A Clockwork Orange? I mean shit, I'd probably go see it but I've never heard of that...

    Deep Movie, real think piece.

    The deep thinking starts as the violence ends.

    For me it's one of the rare instances where a film adaptation equals the brilliance of the book. The novel is unique and astonishing, the way the Russian-derived slang gradually becomes completely natural and transparent is unlike anything else I've ever read. Obviously a film can't really replicate that, but as one of Kubrick's best films, it's unique and astonishing in its own way. Photography, editing, screenplay, performances, soundtrack... all are spot on.

    yeah, i personally think it's way better. it leaves more to the imagination, and the movie, as the book-movies tend to do, left out some parts that were in the book.

    the book is hard to grasp at first, because of the NADSAT language, but once you get into it, it's really captivating.

    my mum wangled her way into the cinema to see it and didn't understand any of it. We re-watched it last year, and she was like 'oh right, get it now'. It's a bloodey good film, the soundtrack aswell is astonishing, Beethoven's 9th re-worked
