One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)
Based on the amazing novel by Ken Kesey. The movie shows how corrupt and poorly-constructed society’s approach to the “mentally unstable” is and how the McMurphy-like figure that we all wish we had fights for freedom of choice and basic human rights. Jack Nicholson is at his best and Danny DeVito can be seen in his very first acting role. The directing by Milos Forman is very well-done. One of the best movies of our time!
Won 5 Oscars
Plot:
McMurphy thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plan backfires when he is sent to a mental asylum. He tries to liven the place up a bit by playing card games and basketball with his fellow inmates, but the head nurse is after him at every turn.
