The 1971 film is set in a dystopian future Britain and follows Alex, a "ultraviolent" young man who joins an experimental rehabilitation program.

6. The Juno Effect
In 2008, after 17 students under sixteen years of age at a
Gloucester, Massachusetts high school became pregnant, Time
magazine called it the "Juno Effect” and stated that some adults
accused films such as Juno and Knocked Up for glamorizing
teenage pregnancy. Kristelle Miller, an Adolescent Psychology
Professor at University of Minnesota-Duluth stated that “The
'Juno effect' is how media glamorizes pregnancy".
A cinema trailer for Juno, which cut together some of the film‟s
highlights including some comic sex references, a passing
mention of hard drugs and sight of a character giving another
„the finger‟, caused some complaints during its theatrical release
– as it was played before children‟s film.
