To the best of my knowledge, it is "out of print" (not available on DVD) but YouTube has it.



When I was in high school in California in the mid-1970s, we were given the book to read and shown this movie. I'm sure they wouldn't do that today.

Found it in my elementary school’s library in 1964, and I checked it out thinking it was a kids book. Well, surprise, Surprise, SURPRISE.

I own it on DVD, but I just watched it again on YouTube. Thanks for posting. I also own 1984, and this thread got me thinking: Why hasn't Brave New World been made into a feature film? You'd think someone would have done it by now, especially since Huxley came closer to predicting the future than Orwell did. IMO.

Someone (HBO? Showtime?) made a BNW series not too long ago.

Kind of ironic that Animal House was written as a warning of what happens when the animals take control.
Instead it's now more of a how to manual for the entitled crowd.
Clearly both Orwell and Ayn Rand had an excellent grasp of human nature.

Animal House? Forget it, he's rolling.
