One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the classic 1975 Milos Forman (Best Director & Best Picture Academy Award winner) mental institution black comedy ("In this clean, orderly, disciplined world, who needs a guy like McMurphy? Everybody."; "Based on the novel by Ken Kesey"; about a man in a mental institution; one of the only cases where a great novel was made into a equally great movie, and they changed it around, to boot!) starring Jack Nicholson (in his Best Actor Academy Award winning role; as Randall P. McMurphy), Louise Fletcher (in her Best Actress Academy Award winning role; as Nurse Ratched), William Redfield (as Mr. Harding), Danny De Vito (as Martini), Christopher Lloyd (as Taber), Scatman Crothers (as Turkle), Will Sampson (as Chief Bromden), Brad Dourif (in his nominated for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award role; as Billy Bibbit), Sydney Lassick (as Charley Cheswick), Vincent Schiavelli (as Fredrickson), William Duell (as Sefelt), Josip Elic (as Bancini), Mews Small (as Candy), Michael Berryman (as Ellis), Delos V. Smith Jr. (as Scanlon), and Dr. Dean R. Brooks (as Dr. John Spivey). Note that this was the first time in 42 years that one movie won the four top Academy Awards! Also note that the movie was filmed at the real Oregon State Hospital (a mental hospital), and that Dr. Brooks (who played Dr. Spivey) was the real head of the hospital!
