Clockwork Orange on netflix?

[316zombie]

i hate it. curtis loves it. go figure.

Films with rape scenes always repel me.  I think it's a great movie.  I hate it. 

exactly! it's the same for me with apocalypse now and 'night mother. brilliant work, but i still hate them.

Ever see 'galaxy of terror"?

Depends on the context.
Kubrick's film and junk like I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE are  galaxy's apart.
GALAXY OF TERROR is in a catogory apart just because it's so cheesy goofy.
Why would an outer space maggot even wanna f**k a human, let alone Joanie Cunningham?

A Clockwork Orange fascinated me as a kid, although I wouldn't see it until I was well into adulthood. The most I had seen were some publicity stills and screen captures in a great book called Sci-Fi Now (1978) by Alan Frank. (In the years of the internet, I began the process of tracking down every movie that interested me in that book, what a fun ride that was!)

As a teenager, I read the book many times and started speaking in Nadsat. Friends even referred to me as Alex at one point. Weirdly, the movie wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be, and even now, I don't remember it too well. Perhaps I should watch it again.

I also think Kubrick turned a pretty pedestrian novel THE SHINING into a masterpiece, although I know Trevor feels the exact opposite.

 

I will never forget going to see that in 1980: I had a copy of the book with me and the cinema manager let me in just as it started (he knew my folks) and I was so distressed, I came home in tears because I wanted to see the book I read and loved on the screen.

I got the book from my high school library and the English teacher I had was so shocked he nearly threw me out of class: the same happened when I got 1984 to read, in 1984 as it happened.

After that, if he asked me what I was reading, I said I wasn't.

That plaace was all about fears,  that blonde had a fear of maggots it would see.

Also joanie didnct get raped by the maggot,  she got crushed by vines.

i felt that  pain also, trev. i walked out halfway through it on my first official date with my husband. he married me anyway, and i now really like kubrick's version.

when the tigers attacked the two las vegas animal trainer guys it was like clockwork orange redux.

I kinda like the original ACO ending. See, I read the american version and saw the movie and i really had mixed feelings on Alex. On one hand he was cleatrly bright, highly intelligent, literate, etc. In some ways an intellectual.

On the other he was a monster I wanted to personally shoot in the head twice to make sure.

With him self reforming in the author's version it kinda reconciles me two feelings on him

[RCMerchant]

I never read the book.

As far as the SHINING goes- I like the way Kubrick did it. It was more cinematic.
Of course I love the book as well- and it works in it's context-the written word. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
It's like saying-"What's better- the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, or the '31 movie by Whale with Karloff?"
Both are good in different ways.

Yeah-yer right!    Maybe I just wished it was Joanie Cunningham. (heavy sigh  )
That movie was a remake of JOURNEY TO THE 7TH PLANET!

The Shining is the ultimate word of warning to people with delusions about "free time" and "space". You might end up bored and going out of your gourd pretty fast

It's in my top 10 movies of all time. When I got my first (Beta format) VCR, I rented it and watched it about 10 times. I have the DVD now.
