Malcom McDowell is such an underrated and under appreciated actor

Interesting how Modine sounds exactly like he did in the film. Hearing his voice only you wouldn't guess his age.

If you put Kubrick's casts in a room together, you get the greatest room of classic superstars. Kirk Douglas, Matthew Modine, Malcolm Mcdowell, Jack Nicholson, James Earl Jones, Lee Ermey, Tom Cruise, Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood...i'm sure i'm missing a couple.

I went and saw the 4K restoration of A Clockwork Orange at Texas Theatre in Dallas a year or so ago and there was a Q&A after the screening with Malcolm McDowell and it was absolutely incredible hearing Malcolm tell all these stories. I could listen to him talk about Stanley for hours.

"Alex Delarge" and "the sergeant joker" talking together... Well kind of. It was an interesting video, but I never thought to see them.

There’s so much discussed about Kubrick’s films and even him as a person. I seldom hear people discuss his eclectic casting choices though— and any fan of Kubrick’s has to admit that his choices for leading roles was all over the map. From A-listers like Jack Nicholson, Ryan O’Neal... to relative-unknowns like Sue Lyon, R. Lee Ermey, Keir Dullea, Matthew Modine, and Malcolm McDowell. He didn’t seem to favor any specific type of actor or even have any real approach to directing them. By all accounts he gave next-to-no instructions (unless they were really fucking up like Shelley Duvall) and simply did a hundred takes. How he was able to avoid studio interference with his casting choices, long production schedules, and controversial subject matter still amazes me.

Great video
Tour of Duty...
What a great youth euphemism.
Did you catch that?

WHY didn't Pvt Pyle take that extra shot when he had the chance? Pvt Joker wouldn't have been missed, but R Lee Ermey' s character sure was. So was Pvt Pyle' s.

McDowell slagged Kubrick off for years.
He now seems intent on promoting his legacy.
