A Clockwork Orange

I love it for the dialogue.

"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

This has given me the urge to see it again, I'm downloading just now :P!

It's an interpretation and not an adaptation, something which Snyder's Watchmen absolutely fails at. It's so faithful in style and some of its substance that the liberties it takes don't fit in with the puzzle. It even twists bits to suit its political commentary on the *sigh* Bush administration and flips many of the action scenes to high set-pieces rather than tense slow plods of character just to suit the 'average movie viewer'. Kubrick's Shining decides to just make a film based on the material rather than try and slap the material on screen and it succeeds. In many ways I prefer it to the book but I also prefer the book's interpretation too, the two rather complete each other.

While the shinning is an okay horror film and its a while since I've seen it, I did find it pretty overrated and a lot claim its Kubrick's worst film

Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?

The movie is brilliant. Definitely my favorite of Kubrick's.
