I usually hesitate to review any movie based on a Book,musical or any other medium before knowing the source material. However I can say that despite not reading the book, One Flew Over The Cuckoos nest is an excellent film that is sure to entertain any fan of movies. The plot follows Mick Murphy, a convict who on his last couple weeks of his sentence pretends to be insane so he's moved to a mental institution as he figures it'll be more comfortable. Well after several instances of disobeying the cold Nurse Ratchet,he learns he's committed to the institute and Nurse Ratchet isn't going to let him go. That's the main jest of it but a lot of time is spent getting to know the other mental patients and and their interactions with Mick Murphy, the most interesting one being Chief, at least for me. The cast what can I say? One of the best cast films ever in my opinion. You see many future stars in there early years including Danny Devito,Christopher Lloyd and more. Of course Jack Nicholson's here and delivers one of his best performances to date. I won't spoil the ending, but it's a nice, bittersweet ending to a film that's harsh but never ceases to entertain. Definitely in my top 20 favourite movies. Certainly one of the finest films I've ever watched.
