One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Whenever I watch this movie, I'm always reminded that, for me, this is about as good as it gets (...sorry). Randall McMurphy is a mischievious criminal who first ends up becoming a leader of squirrelly rebellion & then, eventually, a friend to Billy & the rest the cracked eggs residing in the Cuckoo's Nest.
Jack's performance in this movie is not of a self-centered man of a salty background who becomes overly or angelically transformed, but as someone steeped in his own irresponsibility, with a hard to reach ability to care that is gradually bought up to the surface by the only type of people who could cause such a subtle & internal catalyst: a group of guys who are crazier than he is.

Until today, I had never seen this film, despite its fame as a classic. I must say I am surprised that I enjoyed it so much.

This, by far, is in my opinion, Nicholson’s best performance. When you have a great cast and a wonderful director, it’s hard to go wrong! A definite must see.

It's actually one of the few instances where the movie might be better than the book... but in the end, I can't really decide. They're both fantastic, although one will lead you through the story with a different mindset than the other. I'd almost suggest watching the movie first.

Regardless of that... the movie is still amazing. Jack Nicholson is the man, although every single actor in this movie is really solid. Louise Fletcher honestly makes you hate her character so much, she does an amazing job. Each one is exactly how I would've portrayed them in the book. Overall, yeah, one of my favorites of all time.
