A nice rest in a state mental hospital beats a stretch in the pen, right? Randle P. McMurphy (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 shuffled 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.

Excellent Film BAD VERSION

This is one of the best films ever and if you're reading this you know that already!
But this single disc version is unrestored (unlike the 2 disc special edition which has been resrored and looks wonderfull) and boy does it show! Lots of scratches and marks, the contrast looks dark and it generally needs a good clean up - which is exactly what happened for the 2 disc release which is well worth the extra £3!!
Sensational. A classic story of good vs. evil!

You can see why this one sweeped the floor for all 5major oscars. One flew over the cuckoo's nest is an amazing film for so many different things. Jack Nicholson is absolutely fantastic as McMurphy, a man facing prison for statutory rape, but claims insanity to avoid going.
This is a classic tale of one man daring to break to inhumane hold of the mental institution as a whole, and dares to stand up to those who oppose him (Nurse Ratched is particularly cold).
It is a sad and chilling tale but full with hope.
10 / 10
A classic.
