A bit over rated It wasn't really a masterpiece to me watching women being rapped but I can see why it a Cult the way the Gang dress and why the gang and Alex Speak I found it Interesting It had a Beethoven background music and the film being a Violent movie but when added together very good

After watching this movie I admit I was disturbed but I didn't find it as shocking as it's been made out to be. It hasn't aged well but it's more relevant today then ever. This is a masterpiece from one of the greatest directors of all time Stanley Kubrick, it was him who asked for the movie to be banned in the UK after receiving death threats.
Malcom MacDowells performace as Alex as is one of the finest of all time and the dialogue is fantastic and very quotable.
The chilling final scene and line stays with you for a long time after the movie has finished.
This is a masterpiece that every movie fan should see.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Essential. A Notorious Movie.

Stanley Kubrick's weird and wonderful outlook on teenage life really has rocked the boat for the public for the last 37 years and is still doing so to date. 'A Clockwork Orange' is a painful stab wound into Britain's youth and what it will come to in the near future. Set in the near future and centred around 4 young 'Droogs', led by Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell), 'A Clockwork Orange' unravels a tale of rape, ultra-violence, theft, punishment and Beethoven.
The reason this film is just so amazing is because unfortunately, it's fairly true, Britain has become it's own worst enemy.
Kubrick really does capture the madness that Anthony Burgess' novel represents in such a personal and unique way.
If your looking for a film that spoon-feeds you all the reasons and answers for events however, I advise you not to watch this movie.
'A Clockwork Orange' is a blurry-eyed visual response to modern life and culture with chills, thrills and spills along the way.
Shocking, brave, intelligent and just magnificent.

It's definitely worth a watch as it is, as the title says, a cult classic. However, I do think that it is a little over-rated as the amount of hype that has surrounded it for so many years!

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars A Kubrick Klassic!

One of the most beautifully composed films I have ever seen.

Whether you have read the original novel by Anthony Burgess or not, this film is a complete classic.

Based around a classical soundtrack, following the favoured genre of the main protaganist's music taste. With a scene inwhich Alex (the main protaganist) has sex with two young girls in high speed to the sounds of William Tell. This film will leave you smiling uncomfortably at the beautifully written and directed screen play. And feeling a certain empathy for the anti-hero Alex DeLarge, mimicing the feel of the original book.

A quirky film by an amazing director. Awesome.

One of the best "Midnight Movie" films you will ever see.

A very good price to pay for such a classic film

A general note to point out, A Clockwork Orange was never banned in the United Kingdom, distribution was pulled in 1972 on the request of the Producer/Director Stanley Kubrick.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars unmissable!

Kubrick's controversial study of violence and state control is still uncomfortable to watch after all these years, not so much for the violence shown (often more balletic than brutal) but for the message that violent behaviour of the indiviual is a preferable thing to state control of the individual's behaviour.

Being Kubrick, the film is always beautiful to look at, very long and often painfully slow. It's quite a slog to get through, but every frame is quite magificent in its own way. Much of the film does have a very "early '70s " feel, the film not having dated as well as many of Kubrick's other works.

This is an important, vital, mesmerising piece of cinema nonetheless, and Malcolm Mcdowell's Alex is one of cinema's most personable and charming villains.
