Was there a naked dead chick in the tub?
I really don't remember. I think so, though I may be making it up since I know there's someone in the tub. I really don't think I saw it with commercials.

I think The Shining is the only time I've been able to like a Kubrick movie. In some ways it's a wee bit OTT, but in others, it works the cool, slow camera in good ways. And, yeah, it's its own movie, very different from the book, and I don't know if the book could possibly be made into a movie with any kind of suspense.
Of course, both book and movie feature a Clairvoyant Magical Black Guy, but Kubrick, being Kubrick, makes a nasty joke out of his presence.

You didn't like Dr. Strangelove or Full Metal Jacket, Nutty?
Those both rank pretty high on my favorite movies list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A Clockwork Orange is a huge favourite of mine. Also the first time I saw Singing In The Rain choreographed onscreen. Gives me a bit of problem immersing myself in the musical.
I need to watch that again.

Try seeing it on a double bill with Apocalypse Now. On about 5 hits of acid.

I can't even.

I'm not sure I'm as mentally resilient as when I did stuff like that as a kid.

Not a chance in hell. Apocalypse Now was enough of a mindfuck just a little bit messed up, not even going to contemplate that trip.

Eh and no. The former was probably a lot funnier/more significant when it was made than it is now; and the latter I got through half and asked, "What is the point?" and turned it off.
I don't like A Clockwork Orange in either of its incarnations because it is so determined to be Shocking! that I mostly dismiss it out of hand.
My heart is made of stone, I tell you.

Now you're just talking crazy talk.

That one's even funnier than Strangelove!

A Clockwork Orange is the only movie I've ever rented, turned off about 15 minutes in, and returned within the hour. I was too disgusted to continue.
