Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack English; Academy Awards; Director's Comments; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Behind The Scenes Milos Foreman's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, based on the novel by Ken Kesey and the play by Dale Wasserman, presents a biting and ultimately tragic satire about mental institutions and the human spirit. A disturbing, witty, and electrifying drama, the film won the 1975 Academy Award for Best Picture. R.P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), a misbehaved con who shirks authority, finds himself in an asylum after faking insanity to get out of work detail in prison. The vivacious troublemaker soon finds himself in a worse kind of prison--one presided over by the repressed, terrifyingly quiet Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), whose set of rules and regulations are meant to suppress patients' psychotic outbursts, and their spirits. It's not long before McMurphy is reaching out to his new inmates, trying desperately to bring life to an otherwise dead atmosphere. To Ratched, however, Nicholson's free spirit is as dangerous as a schizophrenic impulse. ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is brilliantly acted by an ensemble that includes Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd, Vincent Schiavelli, and Danny DeVito. Theatrical Release: November 20, 1975.
Filmed on location at the Oregon State Mental Hospital in Salem, Oregon.
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is number 20 on the American Film Institute's list of America's 100 Greatest Movies.
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1993.
On November 3, 1963, the stage adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel was brought to Broadway, starring Kirk Douglas as McMurphy. (Gene Wilder also appeared in the show.)
The film marked the debut of actor Brad Dourif.
Estimated budget: $4.4 million.
The production was aided by the labor of inmates of the institution where they were filming.
Danny De Vito and Christopher Lloyd, who played two of the patients, later worked closely together on the television show TAXI, which also featured guest appearances by Vincent Schiavelli, another inmate in CUCKOO'S NEST. All three actors also appeared in Forman's MAN ON THE MOON.
Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, and Burt Reynolds were all considered for the role that ultimately went to Jack Nicholson. Kirk Douglas, producer Michael Douglas's father, had played McMurphy onstage and was interested in the part for the film; Douglas told Newsday in January 2001, "I think my dad was disappointed that I hadn't given him the role."
Anne Bancroft, Colleen Dewhurst, Ellen Burstyn, Angela Lansbury, and Geraldine Page were all offered the role that ultimately went to Louise Fletcher.
The film played in theaters in Sweden for 11 consecutive years. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Reviews: "...[A] masterpiece..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...Nicholson's performance is one of the high points in a long career of enviable rebels..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Bulletin "...[Nicholson's] flamboyant performance is balanced perfectly by superb character turns from Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito..."
-- Geoffrey Macnab, Sight and Sound "Nicholson's manic and slightly corrosive charm motors this study of one roistering inmate's effect on an entire mental institution."
-- Premiere Staff, Premiere "Milos Forman's masterpiece."

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Video One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Must see classic...
Milos Forman's 1975 mental institution triumph. Haha, I know that sounds a little silly, but this film rocks! You can't really take yourself seriously as an amateur film buff with adding this 2-disc set to your collection. The commentary with Forman, Douglas, and Zaentz is very informative thought there is occasionally dead space. Probably important to note that these commentaries are recorded seperately and the interesting parts are spliced together to make a feature length commentary. It works though. Just get it already, the film is as genius as the book!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great Acting in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Jack Nicholson was his usual super talented self in this movie..I always like to see Will Sampson in movies , too..The characters were so realistic in their portrayals, and it showed how there can be an abuse of power in the guise of humanity..I thought the movie showed both the good and the bad in a mental institution...I will continue to enjoy this DVD now that I have it and I would buy it again...

This is one movie which shows the power of acting from the soul and is a precursor to the great heights reached by Jack Nicholson in his later years

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest review
$12.95 
Opening with spectacular aerial shots of a beautiful, mountainous landscape, Stanley Kubrick's horror classic THE SHINING sucks the viewer into his frightening tale with quiet, relaxing visuals--but the ominous soundtrack warns that all is not right at the gorgeous Overlook Hotel. Based on Stephen King's best-selling novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson at his eyebrow-raising best in his portrayal of Jack Torrance, a Vermont schoolteacher working at the Overlook as a winter caretaker. The glorious early-20th century resort only operates in warm weather because the snowy roads deny access in the colder months, so Jack brings his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall), with him, as well as his young son, Danny (Danny Lloyd), who possesses some unique psychic powers. As the Torrances settle in for the long, lonely months ahead, strange, unexplainable things start occurring in the hotel--and in every scene Jack seems to be growing a little more evil and dangerous....
Cinematographer John Alcott (who also worked on BARRY LYNDON and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) allows his Steadicam to float eerily through the deserted halls and corridors of the hotel, creating a creepy air of tension as Jack plummets into madness. Kubrick's obsessive eye for ...

Writer-director Quentin Tarantino revisits the seedier side of Los Angeles--following 1992's RESERVOIR DOGS--with this funny, violent, tongue-in-cheek tribute to the less "classic" side of filmmaking--the potboilers and capers, the Blaxploitation flicks and gangster movies. The film interweaves three tales, told in a circular, fractured manner, which only fully connect by the time the final credits roll. The first story focuses on Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), two hit men on duty for "the big boss," Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), whose gorgeous wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), takes a ...

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest film
$10.29
With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ranks. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean ...

$16.29
In this intimate drama, Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti (SIDEWAYS) plays George Gattling, an auto upholsterer in Gainesville, Florida. To escape his quiet life with his sister (character actress Rusty Schwimmer) and her mentally challenged son, Fred (Michael Pitt, THE DREAMERS), George attempts to train hawks with Fred's help. Throughout their town, George is known for his lack of success with hawks, with the birds starving themselves rather than learning. But when tragedy strikes the unconventional family, George goes deeper into his life with a new red-tailed hawk. Filled with grief and guilt, he avoids his family and friends as he tries to get the new bird to eat.
Unlike a lot of actors, Giamatti ably leaps between big-budget ...
