Stanley Kubrick's violent film is about a futuristic society in which a psychotic young hoodlum, Alex (Malcolm McDowell), goes on a killing spree and is arrested. His friends and family reject him, and now Alex, as the means of making it impossible for him to commit violent acts, is subjected to mental castration by the frustrated administration. Clockwork orange is defined as not being good from choice. Intense and chilling. 1 User Review

In this version of "The Phantom of the Opera," the story takes place at the Royal Opera House in London instead of the Paris Opera House. Years ago, music professor Petrie (Herbert Lom) was hideously burned in a fire but has returned to London where, as the masked Phantom, he terrorizes the opera house that is preparing to perform an opera that had been stolen from him. He lives in the sewer beneath the opera house and kidnaps opera star Christine (Heather Sears), who he loves, so that he can train her to perform his opera. Now, Christine's fiance Harry Hunter (Edward DeSouza) searches for Christine, and, when he finds her, it is Harry who unmasks the Phantom.
