I absolutely love A Clockwork Orange (1971). That's gotta be a real piece of Bad Cinema, considereing it's the only film to ever be banned by it's own director (Stanley Kubrick). The fact that a bunch of complete cretins started coppy-catting the ultra-violent acts of the protagonists of the film just reaffirms this (and is the reason for it being banned).
It is interesting quite naturally because of its political content/theory as well as its very own approach to violence. I have wondered about the political content of the film and pictured the authorities badgering Kubrick in '71: forcing him to ban his own film on the basis of some staged crimes.
