Comment: Saw it for the first time yesterday, and I loved it! Already one of my favorites. I saw your video on books that should be taught in school, and I told my English teacher if he thought I should read a Clockwork Orange, and he got this face of 'OMG' knowing that it probably wasn't appropriate for a 9th grader to read. I'm gonna love his face when I tell him that A Clockwork Orange is now one of my favorite films. Thanks for telling me about it!

Comment: This got 4 Oscar nominations: Best Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. Pity Malcolm McDowell didn't get nominated, he's amazing in it.

Comment: @Olivia: It's more or less a chilling sci-fi thriller than it is scary. There are some scenes that are strange, like "Singing in The Rain", the murder of the cat-lady, and the Ludovico technique, but that just adds to the sheer brilliance and mystery of the classic story.

Comment: Awesome! This is definitely a book/movie that sticks with the reader/viewer for a long time after they experience it. In all honesty, I preferred the book over the movie. Do you prefer one over the other?
That Fellow: The book is almost always better than the film adaptation, but this is one of those rare cases, where I feel both are equally fantastic.Name: 809

Comment: I don't think I'll watch this movie but I do have a question. Why didn't you do a Christmas related video for Christmas day? I am not a fan of your video choices lately but I'll keep watching. ;) PS-I will not comment if you choose a topic I don't like but as I said that will not stop me from being a fan.
That Fellow: I just couldn't think of something to do that was holiday-related, plus I usually pick my topics before assigning dates and by coincidence, this fell on Christmas. Hopefully, the next videos I do will be more to your liking. Let's just say they're going to be more animation-related (you can actually check out my upcoming videos on my YouTube profile).Name: Robert Larsson

Comment: I actuly did not like A Clockwork Orange as much as I hoped. Think about it, how big is the chance that his old criminal friends are now policemen whille still as evil as before & how big is the chance that he ends up at that old mans house again?
The writting just seem to forced for me.
Is it the same in the book or do the book explane why this happens.
That Fellow: It's pretty much the same in the book. Ending aside, Kubrick's film was very faithful to the book.
