If I'd had to choose a favorite, I'd choose this one

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2003)

Nicolson really convinces me that even brave, unconventional minds can't stand up to a suppressing regime that legitimizes itself on the idea of intellectual and psychological superiority. That kinda makes me feel sad. But the way his actions motivate others to oppose authority figure nurse Ratched, washes that feeling away instantly and puts a smile on my face.
This movie made me experience intense gloom as well as intense joy. That's why when people ask me for my favorite movie I just always name this one.
