About the film:
In a futuristic welfare state, Alex, a vicious young hoodlum, sleeps all day and spends his nights roaming the city with his droogs (friends), assaulting innocent people in the streets and in their homes. Finally captured by the police, Alex undergoes rehabilitation in the form of aversion therapy as brutal and horrifying as any of his offenses.
“A much-maligned and misunderstood classic, this is one of Kubrick’s finest movies.”
Controversial for its graphic depictions of violence, the thought-provoking dystopian tale was initially given an X rating in the United States and was banned in several countries. The film ultimately received four Academy Award nominations and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2020.
A Clockwork Orange (1971) was adapted from Anthony Burgess’s 1962 novel of the same name.

About the film:
This BAFTA Award-winning (Best Film) title is a black comedy about a group of war-eager military men who plan a nuclear apocalypse. Through a series of military and political accidents, two psychotic generals – U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and Joint Chief of Staff “Buck” Turgidson (George C. Scott) – trigger an ingenious, irrevocable scheme to attack Russia’s strategic targets with nuclear bombs. The brains behind the scheme belong to Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers), a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientist who has bizarre ideas about man’s future. The President is helpless to stop the bombers, as is Captain Mandrake (also played by Sellers), the only man who can stop them…
Loosely based on the thriller novel “Red Alert” by Peter George, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) is often ranked among the greatest movies ever made. The film received four nominations at the 37th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and was among the first films selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry.

About the film:
Dr. Dave Bowman and other astronauts are sent on a mission to discover the origin of a mysterious monolith discovered beneath the Lunar surface. As the team heads toward Jupiter, their ship’s computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.
2001: A Space Odyssey is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made. Determined to make a different kind of sci-fi film, Kubrick worked on the screenplay with prominent science fiction author and futurist Arthur C. Clarke. The film deals with the themes of existentialism, human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life. Known for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight, the film won an Academy Award for its groundbreaking special effects and was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1991.
