  Beth, you won't like this pic.
  You'll probably get pretty freaked out by it actually.
  If you do go for it though, don't go to Blockbuster..they edit movies.

      Can't explain it. You have to see it... but I'll try:

      In the not too distant future, a group of young thugs drinks drugged milk 
(since they aren't old enough for alcohol) and goes out raping and terrorizing 
anyone they can in the name of sport. The Korova was their hangout. It was a 
masterpiece of surreal set design. Go the the link CH provided to see what I 
mean. The protaganist Alex's (played by Malcolm McDowell) weapon of choice was 
a walking stick that hid a dagger. He finds himself at the center of a 
political dispute and is subjected to an interesting experimental procedure 
that renders him "cured" of his violence tendencies, only to find himself 
careening from one surreal encounter to another. It's a landmark film but it's 
not for the squeamish, even by 70s standards.

      Oh yeah, it was many people's first exposure to synthesized music. Wendy 
(then Walter) Carlos (of Switched on Bach fame) did some amazing soundtrack 
work including synthesized version of Beethoven's 9th Symphony (with a vocoder 
choir) and an incredible original composition called Timesteps. Carlos' 
soundtrack album is HIGHLY recommended (not the official "movie" soundtrack, 
mind you, but Carlos' own release that includes longer versions of the 9th, 
Timesteps, and several tracks that didn't make it into the film)
