It seems this article was motivated more by advertisers and mass market brand marketing analysis people than anyone who knows anything about films and cinema: I would think that Tod Browning's FREAKS, Orson Wells, CITIZEN KANE, Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL, Martin Scorsezee's THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, and I would have thought DOCTOR STRANGELOVE would have ranked higher than A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. Kubrick even had to place a disclaimer at the head after it was released. It is certainly his better piece IMHO. Gilliam had to place a full complaint page ad in a newspaper to get MCA to release BRAZIL. If Wells hadn't threatened to sue RKO over right of free speech, CITIZEN KANE would never have been released and probably burned. Ray Hughes

And make of you what I will,
Skunk-bear, carcajou, bloodthirsty
Non-survivor.
Lord, let me die but not die out." THE LAST WOLVERINE by James Dickey
