One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

This movie is not going into my top 100 movie list. I think I heard the F word about 50 times in the first hour of the movie. I didn't even finish the entire movie, I almost did. Yes Jack is great, but why is everyone saying this is one of the best movies of all time? Go watch Cool Hand Luke or Shawshank Redemption, which have similar themes, if you want to see a great movie. I give this on 3 stars.

This is a movie that will not make it on to my top 100 list, and I am not sure why it is on others. First off, the producer of the film, Van Zant, stole all of Creedence Clearwater Revival's royalties to make this film (I am a hugh CCR fan!!!). Secondly, it was a lame story that took me nowhere; I could not relate to any of the characters (Well, maybe Nurse Ratchett). Jack was good, but I will never recommend this film, nor will I watch it again.
