Putting Nicholson and Fletcher apart in the leading roles, not to mention the other performances from the rest of the cast, was what made One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest a great classic. Great performances as well as one of the most original stories ever. It's no wonder this movie is so well-received. Absolutely everything here is done so incredibly well. One of my top 10 movies. Worth watching if you're a movie buff as well.

A battle of wills that's intense, funny, and heartbreaking. There are few characters who can inspire loathing as much as Nurse Ratched. Watching this makes me want to re-read the book, which I think is the highest praise one can give to an adaptation.

This film is one of the only movies I have ever seen that made me cry. Nicholson is absolutely stellar as Randle Patrick McMurphy. Forman does an incredible job on this film, and leaves us a large arsenal of memorable scenes, including one of the most famous scenes in movie history. Nicholson is in a role he was born to play, and nobody else could have done it. The supporting cast was fantastic as well as the sadistic Louise Fletcher as one of the greatest villains in film history. Incredible.

Child rapist with a history of violence weasels out of punishment and kicks back in a hospital, where he proceeds to terrorize the staff and interfere with the treatment of sick people; is eventually murdered in his sleep by another patient.

Without getting into any of the allegorical elements of the story or anything like that, Cuckoo's Nest is first and foremost an entertaining movie that manages to evoke an unusually wide range of emotions.

Does no one remember that the main character is a child rapist? Or that Nuse Ratched, for all her cold demeanor, is simply DOING HER JOB? Or that the depiction of mental illness and psychiatric care is cartoonishly inaccurate? Or that the "inspirational" ending is blatant emotional manipulation of James Cameron-esque proportions? But never mind - this was the '70s, so STICK TO THE MAN, Y'ALL!!!

It so effortlessly portrays such a wide range of emotions. Jack is arguably at his best here, and Louise Fletcher is equally notable portraying one of the greatest villains ever, with a very amusing and charming supporting cast. Just perfect casting, strong writing, and spotless direction.

A great film with all-star performances. The older I get, the less I feel that Nurse Ratched is a terrible villain. I hesitate to even call her a villain. Also, the statutory rape thing at the beginning was something I forgot.

Wonderful performances by Nicholson and Fletcher in this terrifying look at the power of authority and helplessness of confinement, through life in a mental institution. The movie manages to make you feel the entire gamut of emotions as it takes you through the ups and downs of the characters.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is probably the most inspirational film ever made. Every once in a while my opinion of it will lower and then I'll watch it again and re-realize that it's one of the best movies ever made. Of course, there's the incredible acting, cinematography, characterization and blah, blah, blah. But there's more to a movie than that, especially this movie. It inspires hope, and it does so in a way that no movie ever has, and probably never will.

If we had a genre called "Movies for Sensitive Children" I think this would be first in the canon. I saw it as a kid, and the lessons have stuck with me: how to escape bullying, being yourself, and learning to escape wrongful imprisonment--be it physical, mental, or spiritual. The technical aspects are great--with well deserved Oscar nominations for editing, cinematography, writing, and music. It also makes a perfect double bill with The Shawshank Redemption, if you ever have the time.

One of those movies you just have to see if you are a true movie addict. Brilliant performances, fantastic cast, so many memorable and emotional scenes... and I believe its the only movie that really made me truly hate one character, Nurse Ratched... Totally deserved all 5 big Oscars

Perhaps feels a little dated in style now but performances are absolutely brilliant. 1 of only 3 films in history to sweep Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress & Ad Screenplay. Everyone knows how sublime Jack was, but all = SOLID++. LF as Ratched (1 of great authentic, human, understandable, yet truly scary, destructive screen villains ever) is amazing & crucial. Real life: Godzilla'll never crush U but a Ratched might! + THAT ENDING: lump in throat MINIMUM each & every time

I dunno, maybe I missed something. But I never bought Nurse Ratched as the horrible villain everyone else perceives her as. So, with that in mind, it was hard for me to view this as Jack vs. Ratched, and without any strong confrontation, I was just left with a pretty amusing film about a con man riling up mental patients.

Being moved enough to cheer someone on in choking another person to near-death in a non-action movie should give you some insight into how powerful this film is. Nicholson turns in easily one of the greatest roles of his career with R.P. McMurphy, Louise Fletcher is one of the best unconventional villains I've ever seen (ever, literally), an entire cast that is just heartbreaking and full of heart at the same time, and one of the saddest endings ever. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Both exceedingly joyful and tragic. Nicholson gives an iconic performance, and the movie does a wonderful job of balancing humor and drama. The cast of characters is extremely memorable and well-acted, especially Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched and Brad Dourif as Billy. The ending is on the very short list of the greatest film endings ever. Bittersweet and triumphant.

Wow. Excellent movie with great performances. I myself felt like my hands had been tied up as I wanted to hurt Nurse Ratched for her cruelty. It is very rare that you feel like that in a movie.

Hate this movie. I know that's not a popular opinion, but I always felt this movie was corny, overcalculated, intelectually dishonest and a bit of a cheater of a film. I wish crazy was just being a bit eccentric! As a depiction of madness is far from realist, as a metaphor of america at the time it just tries too hard but falls short of acomplishing anything but just cliched ideas. Some good acting make this one passable. I still think it's populist to portray crazy people as inspired geniuses

An amazing film, loaded with emotion. The portrayal of mental illness is a little simplistic, but the setting and the characters could be anywhere and anyone. A prison, an office, a school... any institution where individuality is stubbed out to make room for conformity. There are some truly incredible acting performances in this - Nicholson and Fletcher, obviously, but Brad Dourif is really brilliant too.

Jack Nicholson offers up a stunning performance in this excellent film, the story veering from comedy to tragedy, the group cast bringing the story to life. Nurse Ratched must be one of the most effective cinema villains of all time. There is a bit of fun to be had from spotting minor characters who have gone on to further things. Overall, the film is a bit unsettling, but very satisfying, and I would highly recommend it.

It's incredibly well acted, cast, and directed, but I just couldn't get over the fact that a sane man was trying literally to get the lunatics to run the asylum. I understand it's not meant to be a definitive look at how an asylum is run, but I expected it to take the mental health aspect a bit more seriously.

This is a movie that gets its audience on every emotional front. There isn't much that needs to be said about One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that its 5 principle Oscars don't already do for it.

Not one of my personal faves - it drags, especially the fishing scene, and the book handles it all better - but wow the acting is amazing. We need more films where Jack Nicholson just goes all out, it's always fun to watch.

Fantastic range. The comedy is unquestionably satisfying given the circumstances of a completely sane smart ass living amongst a bunch of crazy fuckers for a year. The tragedy however, is just as apparent and heart wrenching. The battles between McMurphy and Ratched ensue and create an incredibly entertaining atmosphere played out by an ideally casted group of brilliant actors, including a young DeVito. An ending for the ages. Chief's silhouette disappearing on the dark horizon, the drums...

Unpredictable story not concerned with pleasing every1? Interesting, honestly flawed characters? We must be in the 70's. Nicholson in a career-defining (& perhaps life-defining given his life-long "wild man" off-stage persona) role here facing off against one of filmdom's greatest antagonists - a steely, insanely vindictive automaton whose refusal 2 raise her voice makes her all the more villainous.The ending somehow manages 2 b moving & creepy at the same time & the film deserves all its Oscars

I saw this movie in school when we had film-history and I was blown away of the strong message and the substory of the movie. I clearly missed out alot from previous movies but I never forget this one. Jack dose a memorable role a the faked demetal guy trying to live up the boring hospital and its funny and cheer full and sometimes you just feel anger over the bad nurse who always is so ... well, unforgiving and frozen.

I read part of "Cuckoo's Nest" for a prose piece while on the speech and debate team in High School. I went to State with it where I sat in a room and listened to 7 teenaged girls read their prose pieces, every single one of those girls read a different prose piece about rape...it was uncomfortable. This was a great film though.

This was highly misogynist and too brusque. It has The Straw Man fallacy, yet the memorable actress Louise Fletcher playing Nurse Ratched was not the monster I expected after hearing the worst. This may mean that people have simply become crueler, & that Nurse Ratched in the classic film now could only stand for a tepid bureaucracy.

A stunning adaptation of Kesey's novel that deservedly won Academy Awards for Best Actor (Nicholson), Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress (Fletcher). Nicholson is really breathtaking; there's not a false note in his remarkable portrait. Fletcher, playing Nurse Ratched, subtly manages to be almost always unpleasant, often insensitive, but never resorting to caricature.

Scenes from this movie have really bothered me. Jack Nicholson seems to me like a bully who is being presented as a hero. I believe I've seen most of this movie in parts at different times in my life, and can't imagine sitting through the whole thing it was so ugly.

The cast is phenomenal, maybe the best ensemble ever. Unfortunately, this is my favorite book so it's hard for me to not notice where certain elements of the story were changed for the worse (even though it was necessary for time's sake). I can usually separate movies from their books because I have way less retention for books, but I've read this 5 times and I know it quite well. I hate being one of those people that says, "The book's better." They are such twats. It will never happen again.

Despite a jarringly triumphant, slow-mo conclusion, this film is unusually restrained in the matter-of-fact humanism of its direction and the detailed realism of its ensemble acting. Nicholson delivers the performance of a lifetime, but it is a performance which emerges organically from a real world in a way Cool Hand Luke, with all his Hollywood Christ imagery, never could. It is a quintessentially American story viewed through a distinctively European eye, and therein lies its uniqueness.

A masterclass in acting if ever there was one. Nicholson and Flecther are both incredile, but what's so surprising is the strength of the supporting cast. There's not a single scene of bad acting in sight. Combine that with a touching, funny and ultimately tragic story, a sensational screenplay, flawless direction and an exceptional score and you have one truly remarkable film.

An oscar-laden movie and probably deservedly so. In terms of complexity, it may not do justice to the novel but movies rarely can, and so deserve to be judged on their own merit. The plot is direct yet doesn't feel rushed and the dialogue is mostly perfect. Nicholson's performance is superb (the same can be said for the whole cast), and Louise Fletcher is fantastically cruel and heartless as the villain. A must-see.

A strong and powerful movie, well acted by all.

So much positive can be said about this movie. But most likely, you've already seen it. Jack Nicholson as McMurphy is at his best here, alongside Louise Fletcher as one of the all time greatest screen villains, Nurse Ratched. Everyone in this movie plays their roles perfectly. It's a very powerful drama that gets better and better as it goes on.

Probably the most youthful state in which I've seen Nicholson, DeVito and Lloyd act. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has some great moments of dialogue, and plenty more lulls in between. It's a good film, but one which I don't think I'll feel like watching again. The themes of emasculation and undue authority are present but not pressed. I was sympathetic to Ratchet early on (her misguided & Nicholson disruptive), but as she sours Nicholson doesn't change, lessening the resonance of the film.

One of the most ground breaking movies of all time, this film creates lovable characters, and entertaining plot, and has it's audience rooting for an alleged psycho, while hating a soft-spoken nurse with subtly evil intentions. Jack Nicholson delivers one of his best performances of all time, perhaps only second to The Shining.

It's is hard to find words to describe how powerful this film is. If you pull this film apart, you'll find that every detail of it is well thought and perfectly executed. As a whole, it tells the story so convincingly, that you'll find yourself clinching your fists together with McMurphy, and don't be surprised if you'll feel seriously shaken by the finale of film. I know I was when I first saw it.

This is such a genius film. From the characters to the actors portraying them, I was in for the ride from the second we saw the mental institution till Bromden ran off into the sunset. Many praise Nicholson's performance, who is brilliant in all aspects, but I felt that Brad Dourif just edges him; I was so drawn in to the Billy Bibbit persona. This is a classic character study, evolution and growth piece and it does flawlessly. I by god love this film; this is perhaps the best movie ever made.

A classic of American cinema. Jack Nicholson gives the best performance of his career, as well as one of the greatest performances in film history. Louise Fletcher plays Nurse Ratched as a stone cold dictator who is always calm and always collected. The conflict between McMurphy and Nurse Ratched is one of the most celebrated conflicts in film history. The supporting cast (including stars such as Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd) is also incredible. You're not a film buff until you see this.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is so iconic a film that it feels very strange to come to it completely fresh, as I did. Viewing it thus, I can't quite call it perfect--there are lulls in the story. But the acting is superb across the board; Nicholson and Fletcher earned their Oscars, and the supporting cast is wonderful. The script and direction are fine, and the score is lovely. And the best moments, like the ending, or the ward party, are sheer joy to watch. Despite its flaws, a must-see.

Yeah I cried, didn't you? I can't think of a movie that had so many actors that would become big not long after, and this movie can be seen as the starting point: Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd, Brad Dourif, Vincent Schiavelli, and the guy from the Hills Have Eyes. Jack Nicholson gives in my opinion his best performance, and that's competing against 4 or 5 nearly as great ones. Every scene's memorable and the emotions felt in each are real and complex.

One of the best pieces of acting you can watch coming from the great Jack Nicholson. Also I have to give Nurse Ratched her dues for being one of the best villains in a movie. This movie will make you feel many things. It was most definitely make you laugh. It will make you cringe, smile, cover your eyes, shake your head and it has the ability to make you cry as well. R.P. McMurphy is such a cool guy and his friend Chief will surprise the hell out of with his compassionate soul.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... My first time watching it... It's just so maddening in such a visceral and real way. It totally earned its position in the history of film becoming the classic that it is today, but I can only imagine how instantly big it got in 1975. Fantastic.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest features the greatest movie ending of all time and the greatest performance of all time, with Jack Nicholson seemingly born to play the role of R. P. McMurphy.

An impressive take on the confinement of authority in mental institutions. The choice of characters and their development with the patients and especially with Nicholson's character as the freedom leader, all interesting and touch on sensitive, broader subjects. Ratched represents an oppressive figure that can translate across multiple fields as well.

One of the best film performances ever from Jack Nicholson would be enough on its own to hold this film in the highest of regard. However, the supporting performances and screenplay are hard to ignore.

McMurphy: "Jesus, I mean, you guys do nothing but complain about how you can't stand it in this place here and you don't have the guts just to walk out? What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin'? Well you're not! You're not! You're no crazier than the average asshole out walkin' around on the streets and that's it."

I was a little more interested by this film when I thought the driving issue was presenting us with Nicholson's character and asking if he was a heroic diehard rebelling against a cabal of smug authoritarians or a deluded, hyperactive loon that endangered everyone around him, but the conclusion and subsequent reviews made me feel like I was reading too much into it. Still a compelling film.

When I rented it, the cover was extremely misleading and lead me to understand that this would be an offbeat comedy. So I was pretty bummed out after it was over, not just because it's depressing (which I might have been able to prepare for) but because I completely wasn't expecting it to be.

It's nice to revisit some films you haven't seen in a while. The performances reminded me a lot of the ones in 12 Angry Men (with a spice of 'crazy' added to it), amazing all across the board, as was the film as a whole. A film not to be missed!

The pure white walls, the hygenic wards, the sterilised insides of a mental insitution... the medicine to cure the sick amongst us and protect us from their evil. Any sense of color would be rebellion and an utter outrage. McMurphy is such a threat, one that thinks he's winning, but he's worn down bit by bit until the frightening conclusion where we see, the oppressor and saviour Nurse Ratched win out. Even more frightening is the fact that this is exactly what happens in the real world.

Nurse Ratched is one of the evillest characters ever on screen (or anywhere)--because she really thinks she's doing good! (a case of complete social-worker blindness). Plus you get to see Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito together pre-Taxi.

Acting class 101: Jack Nicolson's definitive acting role (with all due respects to his work in Five Easy Pieces and Chinatown). A supporting cast that included character acting icons Scatman Cruthers, Will Sampson & Brad Dourif (in his screen debut), oscar winner Louise Fletcher and future superstars Danny Devito and Christopher Lloyd. Story plot and direction are ok (with a few minor editing goofs), but the acting ensemble is the real reason to view this film.

This won best picture the year I was born and it deserved to.

In Nicholson's best ever performance, he plays a war resister committed to a mental hospital. The story is strong throughout and is full of excellent performances :- Brad Dourif is great, as is Nicholson, but all are out-acted by Louise Fletcher as a terrifyingly clam Nurse Ratched (the hairs are standing up on my arms as I type this). The whole thing is capped by a stunning and satisfying finale that they don't have the balls to put on the end of a movie anymore.

Some of the best acting of the 70's. Also it created this contemplative medium close-up shot -- basically where the camera sits on Nicholson's face as he figures out what he MUST do -- that PTA skillfully employed in "Boogie Nights" toward the end. The book is probably better, since this is Chief's story, but the acting is what makes this one close to classic.

Completely a classic, this is a film that still leaves me disquieted watching it--and not just because I've seen the exterior of the set (the old Oregon State Hospital asylum in Salem) thousands of times from spending 14 years living in the town where much of the movie was filmed. This is another film that has earned its legendary status.

Jack Nicholson will probably be remembered for this movie amongst others. This one right here catapulted him into stardom and made every realize that this man has a great deal of talent. From the opening sequence to the final few moments all you want to know is more about this character. What a great actor does is leave the audience wanting more feeling that sense of closeness to the actor and not being aloud anymore than a glimpse of his psyche. Jack is terrific this nearly got 100.

An intimidating display of acting talent, with most parties involved delivering career bests. Raises questions about who or what can be defined as 'crazy', arriving at the conclusion that it doesn't matter. There's a democratically founded system seemingly above such discussion, in which the mentally sane are simply those who fit in, and those that don't will need medical attention. Well, they cured McMurphy all right...

"One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" is a good film -a very good one in fact- that is quite enjoyable and, ultimately, quite touching as well. However, I don't think it deserves its reputation -personally, I found its allegory too simplistic to deem it great. Yes, there are moments of poignancy and some very strong acting (Nicholson delivers a solid, but not his finest performance), but the overall "message" is rather dubious. Still, it is very interesting and compelling throughout.

Nurse Ratched is the most sympathetic character in the movie. She's assaulted for doing her fucking job, insisting that the institution members are actually rehabilitated and confront their issues rather than just hiding from what ails them which is what a therapist is supposed to do, and her supposed "coldness" is a professional, calm demeanor that's necessary to secure the emotional stability of the patients. Like a therapist is supposed to do. Also it's a good movie.

(Viewed on 17/03/13): While it lacks the surreal aspects of Kesey's novel, O.F.O.A.C.N is a powerful drama set that also functions as an allegory for the dangers of repressive authority. Nicholson was perfectly cast, even though he doesn't resemble the character physically, and his legendary battle with the dictatorial Nurse Ratchet--played brilliantly by Fletcher with subtle menace--is intense and tragic. The supporting cast is excellent, especially Dourif, Sampson, Lloyd and Harding.

Completely fascinating. Sometimes a funny, and sometimes a deeply uncomfortable watch.

Such a disappointment as a book adaptation, literally the worst I've ever seen - not because it didn't have anything to do with the book, because it did, but because it just lacks everything: the EMOTION, the SUSPENSE, the growing TENSION and the ATMOSPHERE the book teems with. If you've read the book, prepare yourself to be terribly let down. There was so much room for making this a brilliant movie but, thanks to poor directing, that didn't happen at all. Everything except Louise is overrated.

If you like this, then you will also enjoy 'Cool Hand Luke (1967)'. My review for that movie also fits this one: "Great movie about individualism, living vicariously and the contradiction of the former with a rigid rule system that is still present in the US today. A man that wont stay down on the terms of another agent, when everyone around him already has, becomes a tragic hero because of it." The difference being the existential crisis of Luke and the suicidal nature of his death.

Seen this like five times but have never been quite convinced of its greatness. It is an effective 'comfort food' movie, despite the heavy subject matter.

The predicted score was exactly what I had decided in my head. Not much else to say. It's a classic.

I love this style of uncoordinated, almost rambling, dialogue that was popular in movies around this time period, it flows a lot more naturally and makes observing the characters in the film all the more compelling. This was a great film and a great adaptation from the source material; I highly recommend it.

Not a terribly happy or upbeat movie, but you'll be glad you put yourself through it. It would probably seem slow to modern audiences if there wasn't so much detail and nuance to linger on in each scene. Powerful and very well crafted picture.

Simply the best Jack Nicholson's performance, if you ask me. I've watched this more than a couple times already and never did it disappoint me. From beginning to end it would keep you from guessing and anticipating the character's next move.

Jack Nicholson Vs. Louise Fletcher. This movie is quiet and subtle at the best of times. Not to mention amazingly written and performed. It borders on the edge of perfect due to the subject matter not being completely accessible to the non-film buffs among us.

A fantastic film that goes much deeper than the "renegade patient vs evil nurse" story that it's sometimes built up to be. Nicholson is great but the acting of the supporting cast is phenomenal, particularly that of Brad Dourif playing the young Billy Bibbit. One of the best book adaptations I've seen.
