Clockwork Orange - still as fucked up as I remember it...
.
I watched that so many times in my late teens I can't sit through it anymore. It's a bit like Quadrophenia, when you learnt a film word for word as a young pup it takes the gloss off of it a bit.

If it's a classic then I'll never get bored of it.
I watched American Werewolf so many times as a teen I can recite it pretty much all the way through, and I still enjoy it just as much now.
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Your tongue's like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth
Hanky feels like a midget is hanging from my necklace

I love that film pure class. Oh and Jenny Agutter
Clockwork Orange is a classic, but it was one of those cult films I was obsessed about as a kid. I had a really dodgy pirate copy as it was still banned then. We watched it time and time again, talked in Nadsat, usual teen stuff. I have also got a problem with the film as it misses out the whole last chapter of the book, which completely changes the statement Anthony Burgess was trying to make IMO.

I only watched Clockwork Orange for the first time in its entirety a couple of months ago.
Haven't read the book either

No trains on Sunday meaning learning new bus routes and discovering I could have gone mine to Casa Brian in 15 minutes instead of taking over an hour.
I can no longer drink two nights in a row without feeling vile.
Smoking like a tobacco whore and paying for it yesterday and today.

Getting tobacco on tick is well pikey.
