And really, "A Clockwork Orange" is a movie not meant for a LOT of people, as it can, at times, be generally grueling to sit through.

And another movie I've always felt was fairly different, I will admit, was Ichi the Killer.
I'm trying to remember the opening... was that in the milk bar or in the sports car? And what do you mean grueling? It's not like it's boring (which is a connotation I connect with that word).

I've seen Ichi the Killer on my cable guide, but haven't watched it yet. I became disappointed on learning that it wasn't about legendary Zatoichi: the blind swordsman, who has inspired many movies. I've watched all of them (as far as I know) and would like to see more. If anyone here likes non-typical "samurai type movies" then I highly suggest anything involving Zatoichi...especially starring Shintaro Katsu.
