One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

In the last post I mentioned this film by Milos Forman.

Here is the trailer:


Personally, it'a a very overrated film. Nicholson has moments, but it's really the first wacky Jack role Nicholson essayed, and he's ridden that persona through 35 years of roles. Sometimes he's phoned it in, and sometimes he's been brilliant.

But, this film still is mediocre, even if it's better, overall, than its female counterpart, Girl, Interrupted.
