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.

"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.

chinatown great movie
Added 11/7/2009
Melancholy movie plot; very worth watching; those who "love to hate" rich interfering daddies and politicians versus the good guys will enjoy. Get out the kleenex box for the ending!!
Great Jack Nicholson acting AGAIN

A classic -- a clearer storyline would have made it better
Added 10/19/2009
"Chinatown" is a classic detective flick in which Jack Nicholson flaunts his formidable acting talent. The storyline of this film is convoluted and murky, but the atmospherics and the acting are all first-rate. The early 20th Century California setting gives this film a wonderful ambiance that I have always found to be irresistible. No one should miss this one.
The story is basically about the corruption of money and politics involved in California water politics of the early 20th Century. Huge fortunes are at stake depending on where the limited water resources of Southern California are to be sent. Nicholson, a private detective, is inadvertently swept into this maelstrom, because the amounts of money involved are worth killing for.
This is an engrossing, if somewhat hard-to-follow detective flick that no movie aficionado should pass up. RJB.
