Yes... I love One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... and no I haven't forgotten about it... it's been a while since I read it, but if I remember correctly, the book is better than the movie... which is saying a lot...

Yeah, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a very likable film, one of my favorites. Much part to the charismatic performance Nicholson brings to the film.

It's tough to really judge this movie. Is it Milos Forman's greatest directorial masterpiece or Jack Nicholson's best performance. Tough to say, but the marriage between both director and actor are quite phenomenal. From the first time we see Jack Nicholson to the sad, yet uplifting ending, one cannot escape the sheer power of the film. When a film is parodied as many times as this one has been, typically, greatness can be associated. Well, greatness was achieved, and let's hope this one never falls through the cracks.

She is a bit alluring, certainly those eyes are quite penetrating, but why can I see through the microphone there?

It's clear (see-through); at least the top.

There's some movies that as good as they are. I find it very hard for myself to actually watch again. The effected it had on me was so strong I might be able to watch it one day but that one day might not be for a very long time. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, City of God and Amores perros to name a few have had this effect on me.

Yes, she is very hot, similar to how Mrs. Danvers from Rebecca is hot.

Re: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
 
Maybe I haven't seen thousands of films but I saw Cuckoo about 2 or 3 years ago and it is still the best acting performance I've ever seen.Not Only Jack Nicholson but Louise Fletcher as well.First 2 or 3 times I watched this movie to understand it,now I watch it because of the great acting.I think it's the only movie where just great acting makes it interesting.
Of course the idea and the message it sends is great too.The only thing which I don't like in this movie is that fishing scene,I don't think it is necessary.But still this movie is one of the best pieces of cinema I've ever seen.

It's one of my favorites and has been for a while. I've rewatched it several times and, every time I watch it, my initial reaction is always "it probably won't be as great as I remember it being" only for it to blow me away all over again.

It's one of the few films I consider perfect.
