best out of these four movies? - Page 2

!@#$%! · 09.12.2006, 02:04 PM

i dont know what "christine" is but few movies have blown my mind more than clockwork orange. the first time i saw it i was in an altered state which enhanced things even more. oh but ive seen it proably ten times since that first one. it kicks so much ass...

TheDom · 09.12.2006, 02:06 PM

I went with the Orange.

umjammer atomsk · 09.12.2006, 02:41 PM

Clockwork Orange, definitely.

After reading The Shining I don't much like Kubrick's take on it.

atari 2600 · 09.12.2006, 04:21 PM

A Clockwork Orange

the non-Stephen King one takes the prize

touch me i'm sick · 09.12.2006, 05:03 PM

i haven't seen the middle two. i like both the shining and clockwork orange a lot. i think the experiences i've had while watching clockwork get my vote.

True! King hated Kubrick's version and requested a remake. Can you imagine? I personally think that Stanley did a great job. Nobody could have pulled that one off, in such a brilliant fashion.

Anthony Burgess was a fantastic novelist.

What pisses me off is when people don't know who Anthony Burgess is.

Me too. Alot of people claim they love the movie, but they don't know who orginially wrote it, or that it was even based on a book.
I nearly bought one of his books the other day, the title already slips my mind. I haven't read any of his novels, though.

I think you'd like A Clockwork Orange. Check it out if you ever get a chance.

porkmarras · 09.12.2006, 05:28 PM

And a lot of people perhaps don't know that Warhol attempted an adaptation of A clockwork Orange on film well before Kubrick too.Retards!

He was an interesting guy. He only took up writing to support his family after illness, if I remember correctly. He spoke something like eight or nine different languages fluently, plus another four or five well , plus the slang one he invented for A Clockwork Orange.

The Enderby novels are fun, Earthly Powers (considered by many to be his masterpiece), Nothing Like The Sun and Any Old Iron are very good and A Dead Man In Deptford is possibly his finest piece in my opinion.

He was also a journalist and wrote music. His Concerto for Pianoforte and Orchestra in E flat is rather pretty. Alas, I have heard it but have no recording.

I've read a few. Byrne, one hand clapping, clockwork orange, some others have drifted from my mind.

JOHN PALMER who Mekas credited with the idea for Empire would later co-direct/write the non-Warhol film Ciao Manhattan, starring Edie Sedgwick.
Warhol and entourage shot the Empire State building from an office in the Time-Life Building that belonged to HENRY ROMNEY who was also trying to buy the rights to the book A Clockwork Orange so that Andy could film it using NUREYEV, MICK JAGGER and BABY JANE HOLZER. (POP80) Warhol would later make his own version of A Clockwork Orange - VINYL starring Gerard Malanga and Edie Sedgwick.

The only other Burgess book I have is The Wanting Seed which was written in the same year as A Clockwork Orange. I sought it out for this very reason, & after having it for years, I have never been able to get very far into the novel.

Incesticide · 09.13.2006, 05:50 AM

The Shinning and Clockwork Orange.

king_buzzo · 09.13.2006, 06:25 AM

dont you just hate people who watch horror movies just to see people killed?

Tokolosh · 09.13.2006, 06:38 AM

No. I think it's quite funny, actually.
