To me, at least, one of the best movies ever made. Ranks right up there with Blade Runner, the first two Godfather's, and Apocalypse Now.
The moral questions this movies asks, the character of Alex Delarge performed superbly by Malcom McDowall, the minor characters, from the prison guard to P.R. Deltoid (Alex's probation officer) all add up to make this movie, imho, an absolute classic of sci-fi.
I've had people tell me they believe it glorifies violence, or they can't handle the rape scenes and nudity, but to me this flick of a very possible dystopic society and the ways a desperate leadership may try to change it asks questions that can be answered and debated for years.
Book was very good also, although I am one of those who read the so called "American" version first and can't stand the 21 st chapter that was added later to the books that were released over here.
I would imagine just about all of you have seen this at least once before, and I would love to hear your opinions of this movie.......
