For the film, I prefer One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. But I like them both.

I like both, but I slightly prefer A Clockwork Orange.

I like them the same. But I think both are a little overrated.

for the movies? definitely Clockwork Orange. It's the opposite for the books, however

A Clockwork Orange is more...fun. Maybe if Nurse Ratched died that movie would've gotten my vote.

I have seen both movies but only read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I liked One Flew more, and I would probably feel the same if I read the books as A Clockwork Orange didn't even interest me enough to read it.

Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

Clockwork for the story, One flew for the acting.

I was thinking something like that. I never saw Clockwork Orange as 'fun' !
It is rather grim overall

If I remember correctly, the infamous rape scene in Clockwork Orange is played for laughs... now that's sick.
I prefer Cuckoo's Nest for Chief Bromden and that great ending... and some real laugh out loud moments.

Alex DeLarge singing "Singin in the Rain" was actually Malcolm's idea.

Both the movies and books are stunning masterpieces... I can't choose, personally.

Admittedly very little.  Someday I'll try to though, and maybe remember this thread.

Cuckoos nest - seriously funny
No vote though...both are great pics

I don't see Clockwork as disturbing in the slightest bit. It's actually got some very interesting themes to it, and is also very tongue-in-cheek
