Yeah, me and my housemate live in a huge bloody five bedroom house and we only use two of them so I converted one of the spare rooms into my film room, basically I just stacked all my video's and dvd's around the edges so it's easy to choose one when I fancy it. Been meaning to put shelves up for ages but just haven't got round to it yet.

Surprised to see so many negative posts about Clockwork. Though it'd be well loved round these parts.

likewise.

I'm a big fan of the film myself, one of my all time favourites, an incredible film, as is much of kubricks work.

The controversy over A Clockwork Orange back in the early 70's I think was quite predictable. Sadly not much has changed since then (remember last years furore over Eastern Promises). Certain films seem to be selected by the press for condemnation - and most don't deserve it.

What happened with Eastern Promises Angel? I don't remember hearing anything at the time, was it anything to do with the fact it portrayed the Vory V Zakone that caused controversy? because it wasn't too extreme as far as violence goes. Personally I really liked Eastern Promises (Although the ending was a little rushed and unsatisfying IMO) Mortensen was brilliant in it.

If I remember rightly, the drama was all about 'little' Vigo - not the violence per sa. I did think it was a brutal movie though! Brilliant also, but certainly brutal.

Really? Is that what it was about, that's ridiculous. Yeah, it was kind of brutal in some parts. Fantastic film but I really wish the ending had been better, couldn't help but feel a bit cheated by it. Eastern Promises and History of Violence were both brilliant, really loving Cronenberg's new stuff.

I know it caused a lot of concern in America - so it wouldn't surprise me if it's the cause here too!

I was left wanting more, which is rare from films today. When it ended I would have happily sat through another 90 minutes of it! Here's hoping for a sequel

The Mail were gunning for the BBFC after passing the film which of course contains scenes that were "likely" to pose a danger to society. Sure thing.
By the way I bought the DVD today but haven't got around to watching it yet.
