Simply the Best

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 1999)

If I had to rank top 5 movies, it would be: #5 Sunset Blvd, #4 The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, #3 Gone with the Wind, #2 The Empire Strikes Back, and #1 EASILY is A Clockwork Orange. This movie is a social commentary on one level, a hilarious comedy on another (and there are times I do laugh), a horror film in the classic sense, and a coming of age film. The book is awesome, both the English and the American versions. The movie does something rare; it surpasses the written word in painting a picture of Alex's life. It also has one of the best dance numbers ever filmed; I can't watch Singing in the Rain without thinking of Alex
