One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest #20 on the AFI Top 100 List ***

McMurphy has been dating a fifteen year old (fifteen going on thirty-five) and is sentenced for a short term for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Rather than spend his time in jail, he convinces the guards that he's crazy enough to need psychiatric care and is sent to a hospital. He fits in frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause some of the patients to progress. Nurse Ratched becomes his personal cross to bear as his resistence to the hospital routine gets on her nerves.

A very good and enjoyable movie with a great use of comedy by Jack Nicholson to lighten the mood. Will Sampson was very good as Chief as well and it was also very nice to see both a young Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito. Although I was a little disappointed with the Nurse Ratched character. The performance was fine but I thought she was going to be more "cold" or more of a "villian"
