After controversy and threats, Kubrick asked Warner Bros. to withdraw A Clockwork Orange (1971) in Britain; it stayed unavailable there for decades and returned after his death.

Actually, just bought this and watched it recently. It’s pretty interesting how different movies were back then.

Definitely one of the greatest movies of all time, a top 10.

In France, there was no censorship, just a ban on those under 18 upon its initial release and a ban on those under 16 upon its re-release in January 1992.

I think Kubrick in his later years became a little embarrassed by Clockwork Orange or parts of it. The early '70s was a time when censorship finally fell and many directors went wild and over-the-top. By mid-decade things had calmed down.

It was 1988... rented a VHS tape, I was 15, and watched it several times. It made such an impression that I later bought the book. A lot of horrorshow memories in mi gulliver...

Mediocre movie. Watched it about 10yrs ago & struggled to see the hype

As soon as it was released again I went to see it at the cinema, you just had to after all I’d heard and read. I wasn’t disappointed. A great film.

Luckily it was available on boot vhs in the uk from film fairs in the 80's. I treasured my copy.

Once I read that Burgess was also sad that some gangs in Britain were acting emulating the violence in movie and book and he no longe wanted to have it promoted, since his aim with the work it was exactly the opposite.

They were having a jolly good time driving on the correct side of the road.

• The film was not promoting violence — unless you’re an absolute fool, why would you take it that way? •
