A Clockwork Orange
"...as an unmuddied lake. As clear as an azul sky of deepest summer. You can rely on me sir."
A Clockwork Orange is an amazing film, directed by Stanley Kubrick, and based on the book by Anthony Burgess. It follows the self-narrated story of a teenager whose pastimes include ultraviolence, rape, and Beethoven. He is jailed for murder (or "the accidental killing of a person"), and volunteers for a special and bizarre corrections program to shorten his sentence, which has unplanned results.

Throughout the movie, Alex and his droogs speak a mixture of English and Russian slang. It sounds pretty cool if you can work it into your everyday conversation. Ex:
Friend: How was the movie?
You: It was real horrorshow, but I best get a bit of spatchka. Got a bit of a pain in me gulliver.
