Description:
A nice rest in a state mental hospital beats a stretch in the pen, right? Randle P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), a free-spirited con with lightning in his veins and glib on his tongue, fakes insanity and moves in with what he calls the "nuts." Immediately, his contagious sense of disorder runs up against numbing routine. No way should guys pickled on sedatives shuffle around in bathrobes when the World Series is on. This means war! On one side is McMurphy. On the other is soft-spoken Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), among the most coldly monstrous villains in film history. At stake is the fate of every patient on the ward. Based on Ken Kesey's acclaimed bestseller, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest swept all five major 1975 Academy Awards: Best Picture (produced by Saul Zaentz and Michael Douglas), Actor (Nicholson), Actress (Fletcher), Director (Milos Forman) and Adapted Screenplay (Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman). Raucous, searing and with a superb cast that includes Brad Dourif, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd in his film debut, this one soars.

Amazon.com essential video:
One of the key movies of the 1970s, when exciting, groundbreaking, personal films were still being made in Hollywood, Milos Forman's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest emphasized 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 Emerson

This movie stands the test of time. Jack Nicholson did a great job, helping us to forever change our views of mental health.

One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest is a classic movie. it is so because, it deals with human nature, the need to be free as humans and whether or not one can "connect" with someone that just has a wall herself (the nurse).
This was Jack Nicholson's time. He had done some forgetable films before Easy RIder. Easy Rider got him into the mainstream, and then Cukoo's Nest catapulted him.
All if the actors were great.
The direction (Milos Forman), the writing (Bo ... Read More

This movie is an all-time classic because it retains its ability to entertain and to move its audience over the years. It's been 30 years but this film ages very well as its theme of power corrupting and the triumph of the human will over tyranny, injustice and downright evil intentions is still relevant today. Add that to brilliant acting by Nicholson in his best ever performance in a role that seems to have been written just for him as well as by Fletcher who is so good in her role as Nurse "Wretched" ...

I swear, this movie would suck if it weren't for Jack Nicholson. He plays the perfect Mcmurphy. This movie would not even win best picture if it haden't been for Nicholson. I read the book, and loved it, and I thought since the book and movie were different, that the movie would suck, that it would be pretty boring, but it suprised me big time. It is entertaining as heck! It's so funny, cool, and well written. I was suprised to see how young Jack Nicholson was in this movie. I also couldn't believe ... Read More

I ordered this product on October 25, 2008. I did not recieve this product until November 22, 2008. I feel the shipping is too much and for the price that I did pay, I feel that my merchandise shouldve arrived sooner. Forget about trying to give gift certificates to anyone for a gift as the shipping and handling is outrageous. Also, when I explained I did not receive my DVD (used), I was asked if I would like another sent out. It shouldve been an automatic response to send another!
