One of the three films who won the main 5 Oscars

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2003)

In spite of being old, this film will surely capture your attention from the beginning. Situated in a mental institution, a new patient is brought in, R.P.McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), who will change things around there. Mrs. Ratched (Louise Flecther) is the sadistic and cold nurse, who takes care of the patients. The clash between the two will promptly start. Directed by Milos Forman (Man on the Moon, Amadeus), the film also stars William Redfield as the interesting Mr Harding, Danny DeVito as Martini and Christopher Lloyd as the angry patient Taber.
**##LITTLE SPOYLER DOWN HERE##** Jack Nicholson gives his best in this movie, specially in the scene where he plays cards with other patients, or when he pretends to be watching a baseball match. There is a funny part where Danny DeVito is literally dancing in the basketball court. The ending of the film is truly a classic and dramatic (a little bit shocking too), but a great ending for a great movie. **##END OF SPOILER##**
Stunning performances from both Jack Nicholson (The Shining, Chinatown) and Louise Fletcher (The Exorcist II), allows this movie to be a classic. Along with "It Happened one night" and "Silence of the Lambs" this movie received the main 5 Oscars: Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Director, Best Picture and Best Screenplay. This is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.
