Classic Friday : One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975) 9/10

Starring : Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, William Redfield
Director : Milos Forman
Running Time : 128 mins

A classic in the truest sense of the word Nicholson plays McMurphy, a prisoner who thinks he can get out of working in prison by pretending to be mad and getting transferred to an institution. Things don't work out well for him when he realises that the nurse in charge will do anything to keep him there, even past the length of his sentence.

Some fantastic performances, not just from the deservedly Oscar winning Nicholson and Fletcher, but the supporting cast, including a very young Brad Douriff, Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito, are equally up to the challenge of playing mental patients.
