AFI 10 Top 10 w/ACO, 2001 & Spartacus (6/17/08)
AFI 100 Years 100 Heroes & Villains (2003) ACO Alex #12 - MM - My job in that film is to make an immoral personal palatable. How could you not enjoy it (SITR)
AFI 100 Years 100 Movies 10th Anniversary (2008) ACO #70
AFI 100 Years 100 Movies long (1998) James Woods - MASH lampoons war, a year later ACO came. (Opening clip/tramp/record store) MM - I chose to play this hoodlum, murder, rapist who is a nasty piece of work with joie de vive. He loved life, loves to get up, though he may be getting up to beat or maim, there is something infectious about it. The Singin in the rain sequence started off when Stanley said can you dance. So it was a joke - Singing in the Rain. (Korova singer/prison/Ludovico/return home/tramps attack/trough/spaghetti) You end up feeling sympathy for this amoral character and I know that kinda pisses people off.
AFI 100 Years 100 Movies short (1998) - ACO #46 clip. David Copperfield - All of Kubrick's work has an amazing balance it's terrifying but kind of lyrical and funny at the same time. MM - It's really about the freedom of choice, the freedom for an individual to choose between bad or good.
AFI 100 Years 100 Quotes with Kubrick (6/05)
AFI 100 Years 100 Thrills (2001) ACO #21 - MM - SK who directed makes the hero Alex and anti-hero, I chose to play him with a joie de vive, that's infectious. Anything who loves life is, though they might be getting up to beat and maim. Jerry Goldsmith - If I was told to write a score for it, I would've been hard pressed to know what to do. What he did worked. MM - I've always been drawn to parts with an edge, I'm not personally a good reactor. I think heroes are mainly reactors, they don't drive the story so much as react to it. They are always difficult parts to play. Gary Cooper was a great hero.

Cinemax My Movies - Malcolm McDowell on A Clockwork Orange - One always hopes one is gong to be successful, but it came in bucketfuls. I went out to meet SK in North London and he didn't tell me anything about why he wanted to see me until the very end when he handed me a book and I looked down and notices it was ACO. It was a very, very intense 6 months for me because I was in every shot. He was a brilliant director for me, I said to him once can you give me an idea how you direct and he said no not really, I know what I don't want, but don't know what I do want. I went oh, OK. Physically the most difficult sequence in the film for me was the lidlocks on the eye. My eyes were anesthetized by a doctor from an eye hospital who kept ramming a handkerchief in my eye to see if it took effect. I'm sitting in a straight jacket watching movies. It was only on the ride home when the anesthesia wore off and there was such pain, it was staggering. We were sitting around for a week trying to do the gang bursting into this writer's house. Out of sheer boredom Stanley walked over to me and said can you dance? I said sure, I love to dance, I'm just Singin in the Rain, whack. The whole thing was an improv, for fun. I think it's my song, sorry Gene. I remember going into my local newsagent in London and I'd been going there for years and the man just cowered, I went it's me, I've come for my Times you know, I'm not going to beat you up, don't worry. It was a lifetime experience. ACO is coming up next on Cinemax so viddy well little brothers, viddy well.

Mark Kermode interviews Warren Clarke at Wandsworth roundabout. Clarke: We got here 3-4 hours earlier and we looked at it like we are looking at it now and said so what, who cares? We go away, have dinner, sit down, play cards, come back at 1am and it's a whole other world. Half of it is the lighting. The first time we went there it was extraordinary, Thamesmead at that time won awards all over Europe, so it was quite beautiful. We shot the sequence there, 6 months later Stanley didn't think it worked so we went back and I had to go in there again. Apart from it being nominated for Oscars there was a lot of seriously bad press in this country about it. A lot of that stuff was utter rubbish to me. I can't see a mindless yob sitting through ACO from beginning to film, it's not that kind of film. Have you been here since you shot it? No, never in my life. You never went back to any film locations? Are you kidding? They'd probably shoot me wandering around, if they recognized me. Would they? Do I still look the same?
