One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Pros: great performances in a poignant classic
Cons: none come to mind

I was an 8th grade student when I saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest for the first time. I didn’t know that much about the novelist Ken Kesey. I also didn’t know that much about many things then. I barely recognized ...

Pros: Deep, mind boggling plot. Tantalizes the imagination
Cons: A bit strong for the younger audience

What can I say that has not already been said? Other than my own feelings about this movie/book, I suppose that almost everyone has said it all. In 1975 this movie emerged just as I was turning 18 years old. I was still quite naive in my thinking and ...

Pros: Jack Nicholson, hilarious as ever. Christopher Lloyd and others deliver sterling performances.
Cons: My fingers are fidgeting... um...

Bite my head off though you may, but I just don't grasp the hype behind One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I've certainly seen worse, a lot worse. But, I liked this movie a lot more when it was called Cool Hand Luke. Basically, you know ...

Pros: Directing Story telling and incredible acting.
Cons: Not one thing.

Back when I was a young newly-wed my wife and I went to see this movie. I was influenced by the film's message as I saw it and that did change my views in how I perceived world matters. More later. It was the story, the setting, the characters and the ...

Pros: Jack shines, but never overshadows his supporting cast
Cons: nada

MY REVIEW OF THE MOVIE PROPER

I've always had a special affinity for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", partially because we were both released in the same year, but also because it concerns itself with a human theme that I find awfully...

Pros: Story, acting, ending
Cons: It is very grim.

In 1976, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest won the five top Oscars (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay), and was the first movie in 45 years to do so. It deserved it. This film is inspiring, disturbing, ...

Pros: Quite thought provoking...
Cons: ...but for me, didn't live up to the hype.

Continuing the MOVIES I OUGHT TO HAVE SEEN BY NOW SAGA (which I'm sure you're eagerly following this fine January) I got around to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The first, most striking aspect of this movie for me was that Jack Nicholson ...

Pros: Amazing acting matched to a great plot.
Cons: None.

There are certain classic films that everyone should see, and you are simply not living life to its fullest should you not see some of these films. A film that has won as many awards as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is clearly one of the ...

Pros: Performances, Screenplay, Sound Track
Cons: Can't think of any

This is a movie I have seen a hundred times. I am willing to see it one hundred more times. In 1976, when it was released, I was working in a Psychiatric Hospital in New York City. I personally knew more than one" Nurse Ratched" and at least a...

Pros: Outstanding performances; many funny moments; great screenplay.
Cons: The third act is a bit bizarre.

"One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" is an enjoyable and often hilarious piece of strange human interaction with a battle against authority. Jack Nicholson stars as R.P. McMurphy, a convict who is sane, but has faked insanity to be transferred from a ...

Pros: Amazing acting, Engaging story, Wonderful DVD bonus features, Memorable characters.
Cons: A weird obsession with zooming early in the film.

When the worst one can say about a movie is that it is annoying early in the film how the director avoids static shots by doing simple, slow pans in on the faces of characters, the film has to be pretty amazing. For me, it says something when a classic ...

Pros: brave storyline, great acting, great direction, emotionally moving.
Cons: depressing subject matter

Movie Stats- Director: Milos Forman Screenwriters: Bo Goldman, Lawrence Hauben Based on bo ...

Pros: Timeless classic about rebelling against questionable authority...
Cons: May be too intense for certain audiences...

Released in the 70's, Cuckoo was a controversial flick depicting the dark side of institutional life that most people thought as passe as associative terminology such as looney bins, insane asylums, crazy houses or nut farms. Psychiatric groups...

Pros: Funny, well acted, well directed, well written, well.......everything
Cons: old time psychiatric ward scenes can be disturbing to some people

I just watched this movie again and was so impressed with it that I had to rush to my computer and write my epinion about it.
Made in 1975, Jack Nicholson plays the role he is known for so well.
A psychopath. This time he's Randall Patrick...

Pros: One of the greatest movies of all time.
Cons: None.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a stunning adaptation of Ken Kesey's 1962 anti-establishment novel. The fact that it is one of the best films of the Seventies (surely Cinema's greatest decade?) says a lot, but the fact that it is one of the greatest...
