what are your thoughts?

I think it's in my top ten.

Try the wine... food alright?

1. One of my favorite movies of all time. A real shocker.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

2. It was rated X for violence when it first came out, and it's still

plenty disturbing, although as much for the psychological aspects as for the violence.

Trivia note: One of the "droogs" is played by Warren Clarke, who would show up in the 1990s as Inspector Dalziel in the "Dalziel and Pascoe" series, which was broadcast on A&E.

[Glenda]

3. I always remember the toothpicks keeping his eye open

or maybe they weren't toothpicks...

and singing in the rain...

[Downtown Hound]

4. A terrifying, bizarre, and truly great film.

[Floogeldy]

5. It has been years

I'm definitely due for another viewing.

Thanks for the reminder. :)

6. I thought it was brilliantly filmed in every way, a masterpiece, really

[Radical Activist]

7. I've seen it once and don't want to see it again for a long time

It was truly disturbing. It takes talent to make a film that can have that powerful of an impact on someone, but I don't care to experience it again.
