That just gets on my nerves. What's so hard for people to understand about it? On my first watch I had no questions about it except for the end shot, but I eventually figured that out with a little thought.
*SPOILER*
They claim to cure Alex, yet he's not really cured. His urge for violence is still there, he is just unable to perform it. That's not a cure, it's just restraint. This brings forth the question whether it's worth it to stop violence if you're just turning a man into a robot. Eventually the method backfires and and the conditioning done on Alex is reversed. Alex is then free to return to his life of violence, hence his line "I was cured alright." How difficult is that?

I completely forgot about Almost Famous and Office Space. I could watch those movies on a daily basis. And Blow, that's another one. Also, last month I watched Cool Runnings like 4 times (isn't HBO great?) and never stopped loving it.

I beg to differ.

That is my all-time favorite movie.

I could (and just about do) watch it on a daily basis. I first saw it a week and a few days ago and have watched it six times since.

I have almost every line memorized and it still doesn't get old.
