Clockwork Orange ?!

Aye.......sorry, I was being a bit obtuse there.........I think the film is still forbidden to be shown in UK on orders of Kubrik / Kubrik estate...........however, it's never been out of cinemas in France where it's a cult fave........ title is Orange Mechanique.

Still banned here !

It's not banned, as such. If memory serves, the film spawned a rash of copycat vandalism / thuggery when it was released in 1973 (?) and Kubrik was subjected to a barrage of criticism, so he withdrew it from cinemas and put a clause in his will to say it should never be shown in UK.

It was difficult to see A Clockwork Orange in the United Kingdom for 27 years. It was only after Kubrick died in 1999 that the film was re-released theatrically, on VHS, and on DVD. On 4 July 2001, the uncut version premiered on Sky TV's Sky Box Office, where it ran until mid-September.

I saw it at the MacRobert in Stirling years ago.
