Anyone ever seen Clockwork Orange?

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not a movie I'd want to own though because I just couldn't deal with watching it that often.

I'm not talking out of my ass, I saw the movie and enjoyed it.. It caters to the same croud that loves movies like The Wall, Trainspoting, Natural Born Killers.. If you like those movies you'll probably really like A Clockwork Orange

 
I suggest renting it, but it's not a movie for everyone. I found the beginning a little slow but I really dug the film once it got rolling. It's a classic Kubrick film so expect some of it to absurd.
 
RIghty RIght Right me droogs!

What do ya have at home to play your fuzzy warbles on?

a little bit of the ole in out, in out!

malchicks

great flick
 
It's a very good movie, but it's Kubrick, so if you think in the mainstream, you won't get it.


There's some kind of commentary about man's base natures in there with all the violence and penises, but try not to think too hard - I don't think Kubrick meant a lot more than just what he showed in the film - a spoiled brat in a dark, violent future.

For the record, I didn't think much of Trainspotting or NBK. I haven't seen the Wall, so no comment there.
 
So ... GuileVsGuile, did you rent it and see it yet?

Was it not one of the greatest movies you had ever seen?


Singin in the rain .. just singin in the rain ...
 
dont rent, buy it. Classic Kubrek film that will never die. Although it is rather a cult classic, so yea rent it, and then dont return it if you want to keep it. 😉

I agree with you in regards to Trainspotting and NBK, not nearly as good as Clockwork. The Wall is fantastic though. The lyrics and cinematography are brilliant. It's worth renting for sure.
 
I'm not one for really long films but this one is definately a great one. A lot like American Psycho, for me at least, in that I'll never really watch it straight through put just jump around between scenes
