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.

Everyone seems to ignore the fact that the main character is a child rapist. And that Nurse Ratched, despite her cold demeanor, is simply DOING HER JOB. And that the depiction of mental illness and psychiatric care is cartoonishly inaccurate. And that the "inspirational" ending is blatant emotional manipulation of James Cameron proportions. But never mind - it's the '70s, so STICK TO THE MAN, Y'ALL!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

A beautiful movie in every sense. Jack Nicholson gives one of the best performances of all time, opposite a superb villain played by Louise Fletcher.

Jack Nicholson is phenomenal, per usual, and Forman did a fantastic job directing. Nicholson has some of the funniest lines, and though he can be an ass, you can't help but root for him. A staple for film, and a must-see if you haven't. Absolutely CRAZY for this film!

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.

A throroughly wonderful drama. The potentially cheesy and simplistic premise is completely elevated by numerous amazing performances. Just brilliant tone that underlines most touching or funny interactions with a faint but tangible uncomfort and vice versa.

What a superb movie with great characters, a smart plot, great and subtle humour and Nicholson who is acting outstanding, just like the rest of the cast. Also a very good story and moral behind it, but maybe that's a bit hard to notice sometimes if you haven't read the book. One of my favourites!

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.

Nurse Rachet has to be one of the evilest characters ever put on film. I always get a rush of excitement when McMurphy chokes that bitch.

Powerful stuff. I kind of wish I could go into it knowing nothing about it after reading Tds4a's review. edit: well he's removed it now THE DICKHEAD but it was about how too much of it was spoiled beforehand by pop culture references
