Jack Nicholson stars in the 1975 Oscar winner, directed by Milos Forman, as an inmate in a psychiatric hospital who enriches the lives of his fellow inmates before being squashed by the administration.

Christopher Lloyd. Interesting people in the funny farm. A little insight to things as they were.

Ken Kesey's novel, *One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,* is all about America's culture of death. Chief Bromden, the novel's narrator, calls it "The Combine" and it was The Combine that sucked the life out of his father, robbed his tribe of…

There are those that claim that this is, thee greatest movie of all-time and it's hard to disagree with them (?) I think that this Milos Forman classic is definitely in my top-ten (?) The only draw-back is that I have to be in a certain…

It's difficult for one to speak of this film without gushing superlatives, but "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" has to be considered among the greatest ever American pictures. Not a hair is out of place in this fantastic adaptation of Ken…

This is a very dark, disturbing movie, but it is definitely interesting and teaches valuable lessons. Some valuable lessons include demonstrating a difference one person can make, that people can change and enhances the idea that everyone…

I liked this movie. It is not good the young viewers. This movie shows the old measures the psychiatrists used to use for psychiatry issues. They used electronic shock treatments and lobotomy. The main character did try to disrupt daily…

I love the multiple commentaries in this film - way ahead of its time - stories that still resonate today - a classic.

This movie is based on the novel by the same name, and follows a patient at a psychiatric ward by the name of McMurphy. McMurphy is a gambler with a love for testing other people’s limits and expectations. Whether or not he is genuinely…

I think this film is still profound and stands the test of time. I’m convinced actors first films are the best, and this is true of Jack Nicholson. Back when he had to act and make a name for himself. And he had so many supporting…

A movie to be appreciated by those who enjoy a meaningful and high quality story line - humorous at times and dramatic at times with all-around FANTASTIC acting. Every scene has a reason. Every line contributes to the overall meaning of…

Jack Nicholson is super charismatic as a free-spirited character who refuses to abide by the rules at a mental institution, in a great drama that has its best moments when showing his obstinate attempts to get through to people who have…

Good movie. Had me absolutely bawling my eyes out at the end. Exposes the flaws of our Broken American, puritanical, system of mental institutions. It really made me worry about the people in there. Excellent acting, however, and the…

Who is mentally ill? Anyone any doctor says is. Here is a link to a new mental health measure before Congress you really should know about. Read them and weep. http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=18859

Definitely in my top 100 list of great films. There are few films as great as the book. This is one of them. If you haven't read the book, check it out. How could they have had nurses giving group therapy? She had serious control issues,…

Absolutely great, but it kinda lost me in the middle of the movie. The ending was worth the wait, and Jack Nicholson doesn't fail to entertain, once again! :)

haploU5-- As someone who's been subjected to such places for little or no reason, let me assure you that things have gotten even worse. Now, even if there's no medical evidence at all, you can still be diagnosed as having whatever…

Amazing movie adaptation. A few important details have been left out, like the focus on Nurse Ratched's bust, etc., but the movie was still phenomenal.
