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.

You didn't like Dr. Strangelove or Full Metal Jacket?
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!

No magic.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
The only Kubrick I like is Dr. Strangelove, and it's mostly because I'm fascinated, horrified, and sickly certain that this is how the world works. As it turns out, I was right.
The rest of his that I've seen? Meh. Especially A Clockwork Orange. I just didn't really need to see any of what he had to say.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This is where I express my shock and horror at the utter absence of Barry Lyndon in this conversation, right?
