Randle Patrick McMurphy (Nicholson) is put in a mental hospital with other people (some voluntarily in) who are not all there.

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2016)

Having worked in a mental institution for more years than I'd like to admit, I found this wonderfully entertaining yet tastefully done. To date, for me, this is still one of Nicholson's finest performances. There are so many great supporting rolls performed to perfection in this movie, it is unbelievable. Just watching Danny DeVito's first film performance gives an incite into the amazing actor he was to become. Louise Fletcher played her part so well, you actually did want to hate her. I can't begin to tell you how realistic some of those characters were (and I should know). If you haven't seen this movie you should stop what you're doing and do so immediately.
