Adapted from the book by Anthony Burgess, the harrowing near-future vision depicted in director Stanley Kubrick’s A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971) earned the film recognition on the American Film Institute’s accounting the greatest films of all time – both the original and the 10th anniversary edition – as well as on AFI’s lists of the art form’s greatest thrills. Malcolm McDowell’s chillingly gleeful performance as Alex De Large landed him a spot on AFI’s list of the most terrifying screen villains.
