One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
1975
*****
Director: Milos Forman
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd
A brilliantly funny and touching drama based on Ken Kesey's "unfilmable" novel. Jack Nicholson plays a nonconformist insane asylum patient who fights a system which seems to create more mental problems than it can cure. It won all the five major Oscars, and deservedly so.
