 One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (DVD)
 One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (DVD) ... groundbreaking, personal films were still being made in Hollywood, Milos Forman's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest emphasised the humanistic story at the heart of Ken Kesey's more hallucinogenic novel. Jack Nicholson was born to play the part of Randle Patrick McMurphy, the rebellious inmate of a psychiatric hospital who fights back against the authorities' cold attitudes of institutional superiority, as personified by Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). It's the classic antiestablishment tale of one man asserting his individuality in the face of a repressive, conformist system--and it works on every level. Forman populates his film with memorably eccentric faces, and gets such freshly detailed and spontaneous work from his ensemble that the picture sometimes feels like a documentary. Unlike a lot of films pitched at the "youth culture" of the 1970s, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest really hasn't dated a bit, because the qualities of human nature that Forman captures--playfulness, courage, inspiration, pride, stubbornness--are universal and timeless. The film swept the Academy Awards for 1976, winning in all the major categories (picture, director, actor, actress, screenplay) for the first time since Frank Capra's It Happened One Night in 1931. --Jim EmersonNewest Review: ...

During his time in the mental hospital, McMurphy causes disruption among the inmates and clashes with Nurse Mildred "Big Nurse" Ratched and her treatment of the other inmates.
The supporting cast includes many big names stars, such as Danny DeVito, Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd and Scatman Crothers. All of these actors are brilliant and give exceptional performances.

Jack Nicholson is one of those electric actors up on the big screen you just can't ignore. His menacing stares and deviant leers that have been seeded from his colorful life experience and quest to seriously enjoyed himself over the years gush though in his acting style, never better than in Cuckoos Nest. Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman were originally cast to play Nicholson's, R P McMurphy character, but eventually turned it down because of other commitments. Director Milos Forman always wanted Burt Reynolds in the lead, never feeling Jack was quite right for the part. The script was so hot around town that six previous Oscar winners auditioned for the lead roles of the ...

Take Jack Nicholson, Brad Douriff, Danny Devito & Christopher Lloyd. All playing patients in a mental institution. And they look like they belong there. Jack looks he literally just walked off the set of The Last Detail and nothing like he did in Tommy (both of which predate this film). Devito looks about 12, he's so fresh faced. It's hard to believe this is the same Brad Douriff that will go on to be mad on drugs in Dune and Chris Lloyd seems to get typecast as mad or a crackpot going on to be mental in The Dream Team and a crackpot inventor in Back To The Future. You get Jack imagining the World Series, Jack escaping, stealing a bus then stealing a boat ...

"Isn't that the bloke from ER" were uttered some 30 minutes into this film by my girlfriend at the moment (soon to be ex girlfriend, looks and sexual ability do not a lasting relationship make). The fact that George had been on screen the entire time did not seem to matter and I realised the relationship was doomed so we went our separate ways, mine to write a review on Dooyoo and she to a starring role on a local department store make up counter. I first came into contact with this film before the days when alcohol and a teenage bride drained the creative talent of Chris Evans. At the time he had a rather entertaining radio show and one day as I was ...
