A Clockwork Orange is the finest film that has ever been made, in my view. Stanley Kubrick has made so many masterpieces, and is by far the best director that ever graced our world. A Clockwork Orange is simply his finest hour!
The film grabs you and glues you to your seat from start to finish. Malcolm McDowell gives us a shining example of superior acting, and the movie is as perverted as any of Kubrick's masterpieces (and then some!). It contains horrifying violence, extreme emotions, perversity and weirdness at it's very worst. It all boils down to serve you a plethora of thoughts for you to take with you and contemplate, after the film ends.
However, with all the perversity bursting out of this film, you will probably NOT like this film the first time you see it. I know I didn't. Fortunately, I gave it a second chance, and thought: Hey, it was actually not bad at all. After the third time, I was lost for words.
After the fourth time, there was little doubt in my mind, that this was the finest film ever made, and regardless of how many great masterpieces I see, A Clockwork Orange still towers above them. I'm sure you'll agree, if you give it the chance it deserves, although it may require for you to see it more than once.

Yes, a masterfully done movie. Even now, 36 years later, it still seems to be quite ahead of its time. From the music, to the scenery, the distopian society of futuristic London. As if it wasn't depressing enough the way it is now lol. Young Malcolm McDowell showcased his talent and was the driving force behind this film. Nice use of sound effects and closeups too, especially that crazy old guy who "tortured" him, was that or was it not the craziest looking person ever?

I saw it and it was okay. The book is more detailed but the movie seemed kind of choppy. Also when I read the book I had trouble understanding what they were saying but the movie helped a little bit.

I have seen it and I don't know if I loved it, but I certainly liked it very much. Though I originally saw it on cable when I was young 7 or 8? and it weirded me out at first.

That is one bizarre flick. Unfortunately too much of the violence portrayed in it is happening today not to mention the so-called "Spin" our government puts on blatant lies they tell us about Iraq et-al. Sort of like the reprogramming in the movie don't you think?

Yes! I have and it is amazing. Stanley Kubrick and Malcolm McDowell work very well together.

I saw it but to be completely honest, I really didn't get it.
Super weird movie.
