Product: A Clockwork Orange (1972)
Rating: 5.0
Greatest Film Ever
This is not only my favorite Stanley Kubrick film, but it's my favorite film of all-time! Every frame should be printed, framed and put on display. The story, which may seem unoriginal today because so many have ripped it off, was wildly original when it first opened in 1972. Clockwork Orange is based on the book of the same name by Anthony Burgess and the film stays true to the book almost to the letter. Only things that are different is the droog's costumes were changed (I prefer the film's version over what the book described), a head trip by Alex was cut (I'm guessing due to the lack of special fx capabilities in the early 70s) and the last chapter of the book was cut from the film. So, see the film then read the book to find out what becomes of Alex and his evil ways....
