General Discussion

The one from 1956 is my favorite version and it is more closely follows the book.

In novel O'Brien describes the Party's vision of the future:

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this, Winston—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.
— Part III, chapter III, Nineteen Eighty-Four

Which sound s scarily like today. I have DVDs of both versions. But found out you can watch for free on those streaming channels with commercials. And Great Britain had the first film in 1954 with Peter Cushing as Winston.
