Yeah i just used the first picture i saw basically. Thats what i thought though although IMDB leaves out the H which is really weird. I looked it up on Amazon.com which is where i buy all my dvd's and they spelled it the way you said. Now if i only knew how to pronounce it :confused:

A Clockwork Orange



I've been meaning to see this movie for a really long time unfortunately whenever i hear a lot of hype for a movie i lose interest. However as is obvious i love Villains and i kept hearing about how great a villain Alex was and how amazing Malcolm McDowell is in the role so i finally decided to watch it.

I am now very mad at myself for not seeing this movie sooner. Amazing, thought provoking, disturbing, perverse, engrossing. These are all words i think about towards this movie. Everything in this movie is just incredible especially the acting. People were not kidding when they said McDowell's performance was perfect. Every little mannerism he performed gave new range and life to Alex and made him such a complex character. I honestly couldn't tell at times what he was thinking and what he was going to do.

I loved this movie. I now have a new favorite movie and favorite villain.

I'm glad you liked it-Kubrick made some truly classic films (The Shining, Lolita, 2001, Full Metal Jacket).

I never liked The Shining but that's because i loved the book and hated what Kubrick did to it.

I'm in the minority that loved BOTH the book and the film. I understand the movie was very different but I was very impressed with the direction Kubrick took it. I suppose its because I see them both as seperate entities so I don't compare them.

Thats fair. To be honest, its actually a very good movie and pretty creepy. What i dont like is how the movie seems to get more credit then the book and people attribute and reference the movie especially aspects that were not in the novel. I enjoyed the book so much more then the movie and i dont think it gets the respect it deserves in comparison to how much praise the movie gets. I think that just made me bitter towards it.

That's understandable I see where you are coming from the book is one of King's best I think. It does deserve just as much love as the film gets.

It's my 4th favorite from him. I know that kinda weakens my defense but its only because of how much i loved IT, The Tommyknockers and Salem's Lot that makes The Shining 4th.
