A Clockwork Orange. I absolutely love the book. The film? It made me want to hunt down and destroy every copy of it, anywhere.

Full Metal Jacket. Just not good after the boot camp part.

A Clockwork Orange is another movie I needed multiple viewings of to truly appreciate. I think it is because it is just so different, that during the first viewing your mind is overwhelmed and gets hung up on some things. During later viewings, knowing what to expect, you can process things better. But yeah, the book is better.

Full Metal Jacket. Kind of funny, I don't care a whole lot for the bootcamp bits at all. To me that part just feels like an incredibly long prologue, yet that is usually the only part of the film people ever remember about it. I think the film gets a lot better after that point. The final sequence with the sniper is one of my favorite things ever put to film.
