Today, we are celebrating Cody's Birth Month by reviewing his Top 5 Favorite Movies of All Time, and we're starting it off with A Clockwork Orange, directed by Stanley Kubrick.


Alex is a troubled youth living in a dystopian future. Alex goes around with his fellow Droogs (friends) committing various crimes.
