Exactly. Remember reading that and thinking "wooh! easy tiger!!", Had weird experience not long after reading it and was walking down a street in Aberdeen and a load of balloons came floating out of a window....a party no doubt, but did freak me slightly Ah, me & my vivid iomagination....

Yeah, that was my thoughts, no way that would make it into a TV movie!

Kubrick was a genius.

In the novel Jack passes a broken down car on his route. In the film we see as the cars driving a broken down car.

Also doesn't everyone find it weird that...kubricks whish was for the uncut version not to be released in UK yet his other wish was for clockwork orange not to be rereleased in the UK and the second he died it got released.

As far as A Clockwork Orange goes,I think Kubrick had stated that it never be shown in the UK whilst he was alive,and as they say,at Warner's,money talks!
(I think Stan's widow gave the release her blessing though)

The Shining...

A straightforward, if slightly muddled, atmospheric horror film?

Or so much more than a mere horror film, with every shot layered with hidden meanings?

....and the inspiration for this woolly hat

That hat sold out faster than a Mondo poster

Not as fast as this one
