One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

 "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" came out in 1975. Yet, I watched it this weekend, never having seen it before.

Based on a novel of the same name, the movie tells the story of Randall Patrick McMurphy, a new patient in a mental hospital, played by Jack Nicholson.

I had never seen this film, yet I knew a little of what to suspect. I knew of the character Nurse Ratched, and how she's supposed to be the personification of evil. I knew that Nicholson was in it, and played the main character, but that was all I knew.

Probably everyone reading this review has already seen the film, so I won't go into plot points. The movie was released to Netflix to accompany their new series, "Ratched", a prequel to "Cuckoo's Nest", which shows the origins of Nurse Ratched.

Not a favorite of mine at all. Yet, as a movie fan, there are movies you just have to see.

Now streaming on Netflix, 2 stars.
