A Clockwork Orange (HD DVD)
Stomping, whomping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating, Derby-topped teddy-boy hooligan Alex has his own way of having a good time. He has it at the tragic expense of others. Alex's journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrick's future-shook vision of Anthony Burgess's novel. Unforgettable images, startling musical counterpoints, the fascinating language used by Alex and his pals - Kubrick shapes them into a shattering whole. Hugely controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange won the New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director honors and earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. The power of its art is such that it still entices, shocks, and holds us in its grasp.

One of my favorite movies of ALL TIME! This is also a great novel by Anthony Burgess. A bunch of teens in a future defiantly dreamed up in the 70's, wreak havoc on society. Learning from their criminal mistakes. Recommend for sure. Stanley Kubrick's gem great on HDDVD!Lit-Nerd Classic! - AnnaK
Milk bars, ultraviolence, the old in-out - the futuristic teenage fantasy at it's best. Visually stunning, amazing sound track, thought-provoking concepts - the cliche's just don't cut it when you're talking about this classic. Watch the movie then read the book, or the other way around, it doesn't matter - they're both real horrorshow. Is it better for people to be free or to be good? Or maybe you don't care and you just like watching boobs before implants were invented...
