For the film, I prefer One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. But I like them both. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

| 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 ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

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.

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

Clockwork - disturbingly good
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 |

Tough one, they are both so great. I will vote for Cuckoo's Nest, as I don't think any other movie has affected me quite so deeply. I hate that nurse so much. But still, they are both amazing.

There are loads of hilarious moments in A Clockwork Orange. It's certainly a dark and disturbing film, but there are comedic parts that cut the tension wonderfully. That's one of the things I love about it. One quick example, the part where Alex is in the hospital and he keeps popping his mouth open to receive bits of disgusting looking hospital meat cracks me up every time. -------------

The one without all the rape. To be fair, though, my Netflix Instant stream of Clockwork Orange was jacked and desynced very frequently, so I didn't get the whole effect of the movie.
You don't find graphic depictions of rape to be a little unsettling? ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

That's exactly why I called it "disturbingly good" in my previous post. Those scenes are tough to watch..some people find rape nothing more than animalistic behaviour.
Albeit I think it is a good movie..have to take the good with the bad. -------------
