1) DVD DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video. I sometimes hesitate to review an old movie I really loved the first time I saw it the same way I am reluctant to read a book I remember fondly from my youth. Sometimes they just don´t hold up. I took the plunge with "One Flew Over the Cuckoo´s Nest." Nicholson as McMurphy and the strong supporting cast of loonies (including Nurse Ratchet) holds up very well. I highly recommend this one. Haven´t had a chance to look at the bonus disk, but I am looking forward to it.¤ 2) DVD DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video. It arrived in good condition and within the time parameters you promised.
Thanks¤ 3) DVD DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video. after all these years this is still a very good movie. It has been many years since I saw this movie but my girlfriend had never seen this movie and she really enjoyed it. She is a nurse and couldn´t understand why I called her nurse ratchet sometimes. Now she understands.¤ 4) DVD DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video. I was most disappointed because I wanted a DVD and it was featured as a DVD and when it came, it was a VHS tape. Don´t think I would trust this person again for anything.¤ 5) DVD DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video. One flew over the cuckoo´s nest is classic! Jack Nicholson at his finest. It´s a must for anyone´s video library.¤ 6) DVD DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video. A nice rest in a state mental hospital beats a stretch in the pen, right? Randle P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), a free-spirited con with lightning in his veins and glib on his tongue, fakes insanity and moves in with what he calls the "nuts." Immediately, his contagious sense of disorder runs up against numbing routine. No way should guys pickled on sedatives shuffle around in bathrobes when the World Series is on. This means war! On one side is McMurphy. On the other is soft-spoken Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), among the most coldly monstrous villains in film history. At stake is the fate of every patient on the ward. Based on Ken Kesey´s acclaimed bestseller, One Flew Over the Cuckoo´s Nest swept all five major 1975 Academy Awards: Best Picture (produced by Saul Zaentz and Michael Douglas), Actor (Nicholson), Actress (Fletcher), Director (Milos Forman) and Adapted Screenplay (Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman). Raucous, searing and with a superb cast that includes Brad Dourif, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd in his film debut, this one soars.¤ 7) DVD DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video. 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¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
