Plot: With an insane asylum standing in for everyday society, Milos Forman's 1975 film adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel is a comically sharp indictment of the Establishment urge to conform. Playing crazy to avoid prison work detail, manic free spirit Randle P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is sent to the state mental hospital for evaluation. There he encounters a motley crew of mostly voluntary inmates, including cowed mama's boy Billy (Brad Dourif) and silent Native American Chief Bromden (Will Sampson), presided over by the icy Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). Ratched and McMurphy recognize that each is the other's worst enemy: an authority figure who equates sanity with correct behavior, and a misfit who is charismatic enough to dismantle the system simply by living as he pleases. McMurphy proceeds to instigate group insurrections large and small, ranging from a restorative basketball game to an unfettered afternoon boat trip and a tragic after-hours party with hookers and booze. Nurse Ratched, however, has the machinery of power on her side to ensure that McMurphy will not defeat her. Still, McMurphy's message to live free or die is ultimately not lost on one inmate, revealing that escape is still possible even from the most oppressive conditions. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

A great classic movie with some interesting view points
Added 10/11/2009

I've had some bad experiences in the past with blu-ray discs and older movies. Most of the time they are just scamming people out of a couple bucks by putting it in a blu-ray box.

This isn't one of those movies, the picture quality and sound quality are above and beyond the original. Definitely a great addition to my blu-ray collection.

An Emotionally Provocative Piece
Added 9/12/2009

The edition is fairly generous with it's bonus material.It doesn't stretch for eight hours, but the commentary is interesting. As for the movie, It genuinely a classic example of the art of film. It is made beautifully in terms of cinematography and the characters are only played by extraordinary actors. It's not the same Jack from "Chinatown", "The Shining", or Tim Burton's "Batman". "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is a turning point in his career and it solidifies his versatility as an actor. This DVD edition was great collectors item and is good for any Nicholson fanatic or film fan.

Cuckoo
Added 7/17/2009

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" with Jack Nicholson, and Louise Fletcher was and still is a great film. As you possibly know this film won five Oscars countless other awards. I think this is a sad and feel good film all in one. I rank this with other redemptive films which I think are always the best kind. There is very little of extras on this disk but the notes.

If you have library of films I HIGHLY recommend this one and enjoy.

Cool story--great movie!
Added 7/9/2009

One of the coolest movies of all time. Jack Nicholson is loveable and affable in his role as R. P. McMurphy. There is very little "action" in this movie, it is mostly dialogue. But the characters are rich and the dialogue superb. The movie explores the conflict between individual expression (Jack Nicholson--R. P. McMurphy) and the oppressive grind of society's "system" (Louise Fletcher--Nurse Ratched). One of the best endings ever.
