One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
What's it about?
A petty criminal fakes insanity to serve his sentence in a mental ward rather than prison. He soon finds himself as a leader to the other patients—and an enemy to the cruel, domineering nurse who runs the ward.
Why did we pick it?
Thought-provoking and heartwarming capturing a subject that is rarely shown with such scary realism. The entire cast does a sensational job with Nicholson and Fletcher standing out amongst the rest.
