And yet, I’m not even sure I could recommend One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest anymore. Cuckoo’s Nest stars Jack Nicholson as a prisoner who has wangled his way into a psychiatric hospital, believing it will be an easier life than prison. Along with Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail and Chinatown, Nicholson’s Academy Award-winning work in Cuckoo’s Nest is legendary. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a startlingly well-made and well-written film. One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is still a “great” film.
