Who digs Clock Work Orange?

Ahhh.... I stand corrected. Then where in the hell did I get Roddy McDowell from?! What am I smoki'n? ;)

I read the book in high school, and saw the movie years later.  IMO, they are both great.

If the movie was too surreal (say, on the order of Barbarella), then it wouldn't hold up for the future, it would be too dated and disconnected from everyday life.

Oh, that should read "Alex and his droogs don't SEEM as threatening after all the teenage crimes that have happened in real life."

Somehow I can't see Roddy playing a thug. :)
