Nicholson's all-time performance.

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 1999)

Probably one of the hardest psychological movies ever if not THE hardest, Milos Forman's classic is still brilliant. Script, acting, and directing are flawless. Nicholson plays Randall P. McMurphy, a free-spirited man sent to the mental institute for statutory rape and other previous convictions.

The only difference between Randall and the other patients is that he is very lucid of what is going on in that institute and he is especially conscious of the fact that the evil head-nurse, nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher in her Oscar-winning performance) is there only to make sure that the crazy become crazier.
There are many great scenes in this gem (like the ending). However, if a drop of blood makes you faint, you'll never be able to watch this one. It's an excellent movie.
