One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

After a charismatic, 38-year-old prisoner (Jack Nicholson) with a devilish twinkle in his eye is transferred from a work farm to an insane asylum in this well-crafted, superbly acted, Oscar-winning, 1975 Miloš Forman film, he stirs up trouble for a hardnosed, iron-fisted head nurse (Louise Fletcher) and her staff (Scatman Crothers, et al.) when he riles up and takes charge of a motley group of patients (Danny DeVito, Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd, William Redfield, Vincent Schiavelli, Delos V. Smith Jr., Ken Kenny, Sydney Lassick, and Will Sampson) desperate for some freedom.
