Listen well, me droogies!

A British hooligan commits a murder and is subjected to an unusual type of rehabilitation in Stanley Kubrick’s: A Clockwork Orange. The movie’s sex and violence was rated X by the MPAA and also condemned by the National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures. Despite that, the film was a success that is probably the reason Malcolm McDowell continues to work today. Is this Kubrick’s best film? Join the Now Playing droogies to find out!

Overview
In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?
