Just saw it again on DVD, a classic!

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2003)

I saw "Cuckoo" many years ago, probably in the theater. It is strange how we remember certain things vividly, but others not at all. Nurse Ratched is truly a demon, you get to feeling all the inmates should be free, if just to get away from her. In a sense she is worse than the warden in "Shawshank Redemption". She kills not with guns, but with emotional torture. Nicholson's performance is inspired but the ending is depressing and uplifting at the same time. It will never be remembered as one of my favorites, but I will always remember "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."
