This was my favorite movie until i recently shuffled things up. If i could put two as number one this would be there. The only reason Network is tops is because of certain speeches by Peter Finch and Ned Beaty.
But i digress. ACO is one of the most awesomely filmed things i've ever seen...and the interplay with the music is perfect. I should had a clue watching Kubric's previous film, 2001, with the "Blue Danube Waltz", but this is better. Plus you get the whole idea of what is a "free man". As the prison "charlie" says, the man has no choice after his brainwashing. Real food for thought these days.
Oh, and by the way, Mr. Alexander's assistant near the end is Dave Prowse, who would seven years later be under that Darth Vader costume in Star Wars (voice by James Earl Jones).
