A Clockwork Orange
It's funny to sit here and watch these self proclaimed experts talk about how bad this movie is. Stanley Kubrick was a man whose genius is still not completely understood to this day. He is simply put one of the best artists of the twentieth century. Lots of people don't understand his movies, even actors and various people in the industry, lots of people thought he was crazy, and lots of people saw nothing when they see A Clockwork Orange. This movie is one of Kubrick's crowning achievements. Even though it deviates from the book and has obvious errors with actors ages and stuff, it remains to this day one of the best movies ever made. Movies like this and Eyes Wide Shut are panned by critics and viewers for various reasons, all because they don't see it's brilliance. They don't see beyond the first row of trees. It's movies like this and 2001 which makes absolutely no sense at first watch, but after a lot of thinking and re-watching everything makes sense and falls into place and you finally realize the value of true art.
