One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975, R)
I thought about it for a long time but ive decided the this is my favorite movie of all time. Mostly because of the craziness of Jack Nicholson and the evilness of Nurse Ratched. Its a great story about friendship and finding a place where you belong in life. Danny DeVito and Alonzo, Will Sampson and Alonzo Brown are all great suppporting characters in the hospital. The ending is one of the most inspiring in film history with Chief killing McMurphy so that he will be able to escape the hospital and Cheif ends up breaking off the water fountain and busting it threw the window and runs off into the sunset. I cant wait to start reading the book and see the simularites between the characters. The classic should really be talked about more in the Hollywood world its a real piece of art in entertainment. |

The Silence of the Lambs (1991, R)
A very distrubing and tastefully done film..the entire depends on the backgrounds of the charcters and how the contribute and comprehend each other... Clarice Starling played by Jodie Foster, appears weak at first but as her relationship with the victims and Hannible Lecter emphazizes her to the fullest..and i dont get why Hannible Lecter is considered to be such an evil villain |
