One of the key movies of the 1970s, when exciting, groundbreaking, personal films were still being made in Hollywood, Milos Forman's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest emphasized the humanistic story at the heart of Ken Kesey's more hallucinogenic novel. Jack Nicholson was born to play the part of Randle Patrick McMurphy, the rebellious inmate of a psychiatric hospital who fights back against the authorities' cold attitudes of institutional superiority, as personified by Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). It's the classic antiestablishment tale of one man asserting his individuality in the face of a repressive, conformist system--and it works on every level. Forman populates his film with memorably eccentric faces, and gets such freshly detailed and spontaneous work from his ensemble that the picture sometimes feels like a documentary. Unlike a lot of films pitched at the "youth culture" of the 1970s, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest really hasn't dated a bit, because the qualities of human nature that Forman captures--playfulness, courage, inspiration, pride, stubbornness--are universal and timeless. The film swept the Academy Awards for 1976, winning in all the major categories (picture, director, actor, actress, screenplay) for the first time since Frank Capra's It Happened One Night in 1931. --Jim Emerson

I ordered this product on October 25, 2008. I did not recieve this product until November 22, 2008. I feel the shipping is too much and for the price that I did pay, I feel that my merchandise shouldve arrived sooner. Forget about trying to give gift certificates to anyone for a gift as the shipping and handling is outrageous. Also, when I explained I did not receive my DVD (used), I was asked if I would like another sent out. It shouldve been an automatic response to send another!

Great movie. Classic ,, Fantastic to watch on Blu Ray...Like watching for the first time..

I had this paper I had to write on a movie and I decided to do it on one I had never seen before. My boyfriend suggested "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" so I began my search. When I found this one it was perfect. Just the right price and it came in perfect timing.

One of the greatest performances of Jack Nicholson...this was the introduction of the actor he was becoming...i mean...is Jack Nicholson!! The film, it was created for him...

Delivery was quick and the product was exactly as advertised. Thanks for a great shopping experience!
