It's inevitable that a universally lauded motion picture - the crown jewel of the new Hollywood period and perhaps the most famous of all truly independent American productions - would be committed to numerous, increasingly lavish DVD and Blu-Ray editions. What's incredible is that every one of them is still in print!      For those truly obsessed fans out there, the Blu-ray and DVD Collector's Editions are the way to go: loaded with silly goodies and the oft-tedious …

Nicholson is good, but Louise Fletcher's Nurse Rachet made me hate her with a passion.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Every inch of this film is great. Jack Nicholson gives his best perfomence outside of The Last Detail.

The book and the movie go well together. The movie does adequate justice to the book, and in fact brings it to life. with the movie, reading the book also gives more insight.

Real and mythical at the same time! Seemed fantastical since it was largely black and white but the acting drew you in so much it seemed real and current!

This is, without doubt, one of the greatest movies ever produced. Milos Forman won best director for his magnificent work on the adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel by the same name.

McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) who was sentenced to prison for inappropriate relations with a fourteen year old, finds his way onto a work release program. He finds himself an …

This has been buzzing around my ears among my friends and without a doubt; it is one of the best films of all time. Mixing mental health with humor is a tough brand to sell; come to fine out it took several years for this movie to be made. Kirk Douglas had bought the rights hoping to star in it himself, but struggled to find a studio who would produce it; his son Michael eventually did it, but had the foresight to stay off the screen. When you watch it, it's not hard to work out why no-one would …

If I recall correctly, Kirk Douglas tried for many years to produce a film based on Ken Kesey's novel. He failed but son Michael succeeded and as its producer, accepted the Academy Award for the best film of 1975. Nicholson and Fletcher also received Oscars for best actor and best actress, respectively. The focal point of the film is, of course, Randle P. McMurphy (Nicholson) who may or may not deserve to be confined in an insane asylum ruled (in effect) by nurse Mildred Ratched (Fletcher). When …
