I've only seen this film once, and once was enough. I would certainly agree that it's well-made, and of course has Kubrick's Midas Touch all over it, but like "Schindler's List", the movie is just too disturbing to give repeated viewings. I'm sure there were many who had grave reservations when it came out in the 1970's about whether or not some of the film's projections would come true, and in today's world it looks downright prophetic! I may sound like a weakling, but for this movie was just one long horror show. I'm not talking about the type of horror that causes you to scream, but rather the horror of seeing just how possible the terrible images before you eyes could come true. You know, like "The horror" mentioned by Marlon Brando in "Apocalypse Now" (Not about his waistline). From the beginning slow drawback of Alex's face to the closing line, I was in a cold sweat. Watch it...
