Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2000)

I saw this film recently...and what superb excellence. I am convinced now that Jack Nicholson (next to Dustin Hoffman) is the finest actor pulled out of America ever. He remarkably adopts the role of Randal.P. McMurphy ( a con who had the idea that spending time in a mental institution would be easier that fufilling his custodial sentence) The Irony is that McMurphy started off sane when he entered the institution and ended up being labotomised If you use you eyes you spot other famous thespians in that film like Louise Fletcher as the soft spoken but cruel Nurse Ratchit, Danny Devito, Brad Dourif and Christopher Lloyd also make noticable appearances as some of the inmates. This film is funny, touching and in some places disturbing but it is without a doubt one of cinema's greatest moments when it was released in 1975.
