This movie came out the year I was born and although I have always been a movie buff I never saw it until recently. Folks this is Jacky boy at his finest. It features great performences, excellent wit and a compelling story that touches us all.

This movie is a classic. The performances are amazing. And the look at the history of US mental health care is frightening. Watch it!

I first watched this movie when I was about 14 and remember thinking it was a good movie. Having recently read the book (some 30 years later) I decided to rent the movie as I had heard that Ken Kesey was not happy with the film. Well, I can see why. They really don't do a good job of setting up the desperate situation in the ward and that diminishes the role Jack's character has in mixing things up. Nurse Ratched is a much more insidious character in the book. Acting jobs were great all around though.

One of the best movies of all times. Can't belive people are saying less. Don't know what the world has come to when people give the same rating to war zone punisher as one flew over the cuckoos nest.

Oh well, yes, supposedly a master piece. I just saw a bunch of guys screaming and going in circles. Few good ideas, like the nurse, the lobotomy bit, but the rest, it was just a failed attempt to ...

I was set to enjoy this movie only to find out they sent me the bonus disc which does not contain the movie. Read the other review and heed the warning. Disappointed.
