stanley kubrick's a clockwork orange vs the shining

[Emperor Les]

A Clockwork Orange is warm doodoo.

i think out of all the remakes out there CWO would be a good candidate.

Doc strangelove and 2001 are my favorite, followed by clockwork orange. But shining is excellent

Here's another poll that shouldn't even be close but is, The Shining is a Stephen King adaptation, hardly mindblowing material, if it wasn't for Jack nobody would vote for that movie, especially with Shelly Duvall in the lead? Yuck.

nah i can think of a couple of other actors that wouldve also done a great job with the role jack played

and shelly duvalls acting wasnt bad at all

[Sgt Holly Wood]

why do people compare two totaly different movies? and the shining isn't as shit as it's made out to be but a clockwork orange is just mad dope

cuz they are from the same director

[djskillz]

A Clockwork Orange definitely. The Shining was a good movie but I think it has the same problem most Stephen King movies have. If it would've followed the book alot more it would've been that much better. I personally think IT could have been a classic if it had followed the book 100%. Of course it couldn't cause IT was a tv movie but if it was remade now with a great director cutting out a few small bits from the book it has potential.

God, i def. change my vote to the Shining...from a filmmakers stand point..there so much more to take away from that film...and i enjoyed the Clockwork book more than movie, which is not the case with the shining..the opposite in fact.

[Dr. Simon Hurt]

clockwork orange for sure...there is lot of juxtaposition and visual 'easter eggs', it feels like a fully realized world and the story has more layers, it feels like it has more philosophical depth to it. 'the shining' feels like it doesn't have as much to 'say' by comparison.
