A depressing yet fantastic movie

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2001)

Jack Nicholson gives an Academy Award winning performance as a cynic who decides to go into a mental institution as opposed to going to prison. I don't want to give away all the details, but as you would assume, the stay in the mental institution changes Nicholson. Look for excellent performances by some classic TV stars, as well as an Oscar winning performance by Louise Fletcher, who plays the infamous nurse.

Although this movie can be very depressing, it has funny moments, and is definitely a movie that is worth seeing. I strongly recommend "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
