Great instrumental-Electric Indian was a Philadelphia based studio group-Most of the members went on to form the group MFSB who struck gold in 1974 with their hit "TSOP" ("The Sound Of Philadelphia").

Back then, it appeared that the television legacy of Siskel, Ebert and Roeper is officially gone. And it was replaced by two douchebags: Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz.

Looking back on this, I almost feel bad for the bens, especially Ben Lyons. I finished reading the book about the making of “at the movies” and fans hated them. They especially hated Ben Lyons but they really didn’t want the job

Watching the Lone Ranger right now. 😊

Great Song, I also have the Original 45 too

Jon Favreau

The parents replaced Alex with a man who looks physically similar to him, but is otherwise completely unlike him. Joe is an ordinary young man who enjoys sport, doesn't make his bed, and doesn't keep his door locked shut.

A 43 year run

“That’s joee”

Joe does not like Alex at all.

Lol, Joe all dressed like Robin Hood or some sht.

Great song when music the best, still have the 45

Not sure I remember Roeper leaving the show years before Ebert died?

This song came out in 1969, heard it on the radios a few times, I was 16 yrs old then, now I’m 70 yrs old. Great song.

Ci vediamo il 13 Floriana

I love this scene because it's easy to root for Joe. He would've made a better son than Alex. But it's not his place.

I wish Roeper and Phillips stayed on the air

This should be only between Alex and his parents. It's non of Joe's business to criticize or even speak.

In a twist of fate, the show went downhill after Roeper left.

Some say it's a scene where Alex is faking it and this Joe is totally right. I disagree and feel sorry for Alex. The idea of suffering for one's sins makes sense if it gives the person something, when it has a chance to lead to change. At that point, this suffering becomes an unnecessary addition to the sum of suffering, it's a vicious circle. Joe in the book behaves disgustingly when Alex is clearly feeling bad, he even gets pissed off when Alex wants to simply drink something or sit down. Doing wrong to another person or allowing them to suffer when we can react and justifying oneself with justice and goodness is hypocritical. It sounds like a primitive desire to feel better at the expense of humiliating someone. There's no empathy here. I don't know, maybe I'm too sensitive a person, but if I was in Joe's situation, I would try to find a compromise, talk about the possibilities of proceeding in this situation. Anyway, Joe clearly does it because he benefits from it and manipulates Alex's parents. Alex was subjected to inhuman treatment at a young age, deprived of his free will, made his body react with pain and fear even to seemingly indifferent stimuli (like music), plus the fact that he can't defend himself makes throwing him out in such a state almost certain to do him harm, especially considering that this is an anti-utopian reality in which violence, gangs and demoralization are practically normal among youth. He is also raped in the book. It seems to me that judging this situation superficially, many people make a basic attribution error, ascribing to Alex more characteristics than his rather simple personality and ignoring the circumstances and conditions of the environment. His parents may have been afraid of him - but their upbringing was up to them, and even at the beginning of the film we see how ignorant and naive they are about their own son, as if they had trouble drawing conclusions themselves. When the boy clearly lies and says that he has had a headache for a week so he won't go to school, his mother (a neurotic person by the way) just believes him without any reflections and calmly goes to eat breakfast. Idk, take your son to the doctor, talk to him, make any kind of communication goddamnit. This whole family should participate in therapy. It's sad on many levels.

Quite a heartbreaking scene in my book, but you have to admit, Joe does have a reason. Once you have crossed the line into doing something unspeakable and beyond worse, that moment stays with you and whoever’s affected by it will leave a scar of them. Alex may be “cured” thanks to the program he has to endure through every session, but what doesn’t kept wiped clean is own mortal sins of actions from the past when he was with the Droogs. And now, we see why Alex starts to regain back his normal self during the hospital scene.

Cool.

Thank you. I ember this in 8th grade. 1972 I think

Joe is correct in what he's saying to Alex and from what we know about him and Alex, Joe seems like the better person. But you cant help but think to yourself " this guy is a fucking dick".

This is John SABE Melland Approved 👍🏼😁👍🏼👣🦅🪶❤️ MIIGWICH.

Thank you Richard!😊👍

It's his beloved Ludwig's music that makes him wither.....RAP does the same crap to me and my droogs

You've made others suffer. It's only right that you should suffer proper.

Magnificent Masterpiece Trully Designed To Devastate Your Soul Perfection Personnified

I haven't heard or even thought of this record in 50 years. It was played on Sirius XM recently, and so I looked for it here. Love it!

The Muscle Bound Dude that helps the Old Man that Alex attacked is Darth Vader David Prowse.

In an alternate universe, Roeper and Phillips is on every Sunday. (With A.O Scott as the fill in, of course)

That is one snazzy outfit!

They were quick enough to rent out Alex's room with his Beethoven and pet snake for the interlopers pleasure.

The fact that Alex's parents were telling all kinds of stuff about their son when they believed he would be away in prison for 14 only shows that they probably knew what he was doing, but just pretended like nothing.

cool instro

Yes he's weeping now...but that's his craft and artfulness ..

🤣🤣😂 ahh, this Movie is absolutly 👊😍🤣😂

a stranger breaking up a family, classic

The color scheme and wardrobe choices in these film always made me to puke.

Just like no one can replace Rush Limbaugh behind the radio mic no one could replace Siskel and Ebert in the balcony.

*ME TALKIN TO THAT ONE FURRY*

He sounds like David Dickinson

Poor Alex.

love this tune i remember it way back then old

Imagine having pity for a serial rapist, Joe’s right, he’s essentially pond scum.

Dunno why i feel horny suddenly 🤪🤣🤣🙈 🔥

Elizabeth Warren's theme song...😜

I wanted to just punch Joe in the face so bad, regardless of what Alex did that doesn't give Joe the right to barge in and act like he's their son, if this happened to me in real life I would've destroyed Joe so bad that there'd be no coming back for him. Also the way he lectures alex...SHUT UP YOURE A NOBODY

This was one of the very rare movies that was even better than I remembered it after 40 years.
