ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

What a great movie: Jack Nicholson starred in this Milos Forman film version of the Ken Kesey novel, and his performance solidified his “Jack Nicholson” screen persona and charisma in the process. Louise Fletcher is fabulous as well, and there’s a particular joy in watching the then-unknown players who portray members of the mental institution in which Nicholson’s Randall McMurphy finds himself. Look! There’s Christopher Lloyd! And Danny DeVito! And Brad Dourif! And… Just watch. And try not to think that it’s been 40 years since this movie was released.

During all the self-congratulatory Oscar acceptance speeches, Ken Kesey's name was never mentioned.
