One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest Reviews and Ratings



  • June 23, 2009
    I dont know about you but i couldnt find anything bad in "One flew over the cuckoo's nest".Is that make it perfecto?no if you ask me.But almost perfect.I said to myself before i watched:If i like this movie,i will add Milos Forman to my favourite directors.Cause he directed my fa...( read more)vourite movie,Hair.But still i cant decide.Because i cant find anything different in his directing.I love his movies:Amadeus,Hair and this one...But their script makes them great movies.Only cause that i didnt give this 5 stars is the Camera.Camera could be different.I didnt say better.I said different.?f we could mix Mike Nichols and Milos Forman,we would have the greatest director in the world.But lets talk about acting too.
    Oscar is deserved by Jack Nicholson.But i didnt understand about Louise Fletcher.But she cant be better at that role.And other than leadings i loved all the supporting roles' acting.Danny Devito,Brad Dourif and Chewski (dont know his real name) was really good.
    Anyway we dont have make this longer.surprising finale,great acting and script.It is an almost perfect movie.But absolutely a must watch for everyone.

    This movie has been sitting on my desk for the past 5 months.Forgive me, ive been waiting for the right opportunity to watch it and finally i have done just that.What can i say,i now know why this movie has been critically acclaimed and has been homaged so many times.Jack plays t...( read more)he loveable RP Murphy,the criminal lowlife sent to a mental institution in order to avoid time in the big pen.Along the way he meets an aray of troubled characters as he tries and liberates them from the oppressive Nurse Ratched.Every character is developed along the way which is this movies strongest trait.Excellent preformances although the plot gets a little tedius around the halfway mark which is then rescued just in time.Plus the end is probably the most fitting end in any movie ive ever seen.

    McMurphy: What do you think you are for Christ sake, 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 thats it.

    no matter how crazy u think u r, interactions wit ppl still matter..
  • May 26, 2009
    Oscars went to Nicholson, Louise Fletcher as castrating Nurse Ratched, producer Michael Douglas and Milos Forman's unblinking direction. Cuckoo spent 14 years in development limbo but remains the most radical film to emerge from mainstream Hollywood. Too many classic set pieces t...( read more)o mention but keep your ears cocked for that immortal line "Mmmm, Juicy Fruit." Certified brilliance.

    JACK NICHOLSON was fucking amazing probably one of his finest works, the end was BEAT.
  • May 23, 2009
    Come on it's Jack, you cannot live a life without seeing this film! He is AMAZING! Jacks relationship with 'Chief' is funny and exciting, and 'Chief's loyalty towards him was emotional and beloved.
  • May 22, 2009
    it was a very funny movie.
  • May 17, 2009
    Probably one of the best films ever made. Low budget no names. Nicholson is at his best. Screen writers first screenplay! Unreal!

    "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" presents the idea that madness is really sanity -- or "Much madness is divinest sense, to a discerning eye," as Emily Dickinson would put it. Is it that society fears the ideas and practices of the "insane" so we inhibit them from their true pote...( read more)ntial by locking them away in these asylums? Have we been so consumed by the desire to control that we must lock them away? "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" shouts these questions. And the most compelling aspect is the personification of society and control -- the vivid Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher, in her most legendary performance). Nurse Ratched stares through the camera and breaks the barrier of screen, frightening the viewer as to what corruption power causes. Ratched is doubly frightening as Hannibal Lecter, and triple as frightening as Darth Vader. Who would have though a little nurse could be so intimidating? And the best part is that it is completley believable. Fletcher challenges us to hate her, and when I first watched the film I did -- but then I loved her. How Fletcher creates such a monster, so deliciously sinister and cold. Absolutely breathtaking.

    Jack Nicholson's extended vacation in a mental hospital is heart-warming, tragic and funny all at once. Look out for the Chief.

    A rousing, rock-the-boat feel pulses throughout the film.

  • April 25, 2009
    Classic. It is Jack Nicolson at his best. It takes you into another world and shows you how one man not only survives but rebels and brings hope to others in this sad place. A must see.
  • April 24, 2009
    Crazy movie about crazy people like me. I thought it was good and I really liked Jack Nicholson in this movie
  • April 22, 2009
    Awesome movie, a little disturbing, but great through-and-through.
  • April 22, 2009
    The main character, R.P. McMurphy, has become one of my favourites. He doesn't care much about what other people think of him, an attribute I like, and many people could benefit if they adopted it. Like the tagline on imdb: "If he's crazy, what does that make you?". McMurphy is p...( read more)layed by the fantastic actor Jack Nicholson, here in one of his best performances ever. The acting of the entire cast needs to be acknowledged because of the very complicated task of playing "crazy" people in a mental institution. The story questions some of the fundamental ideas of society, making it interesting and gripping, and it comes out with a great message. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is considered one of the best movies ever, but for me there were some minor flaws that lowered the grade a bit. Still a very, very good movie that shouldn't be missed.
  • April 22, 2009
