Cukoos Nest was eigth on my list. It's one of those movies i take the time to watch whenever it's on. I remember someone made a biggest bastards in movies thread and my first response was Nurse Ratched of course. Nicholson and Fletcher usually overshadow him, but i'd say Brad Dourif is just as good as both of them here.

2.The Exorcist
4.Eraserhead
6.The Godfather Part 2
7.Apocalypse Now
8.One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest
10.The Jerk
12.Paper Moon
13.Dog Day Afternoon
14.Aguirre, the Wrath of God
15.Five Easy Pieces
16.Enter The Dragon
17.Get Carter
18.Manhattan
19.The Outlaw Josey Wales
20.Little Big Man
21.Mean Streets
22.The Bad News Bears (wont make it)
24.Close Encounters of the Third Kind
25.Watership Down (wont make it)



Finished here. It's been fun.
Cuckoo's Nest is a remarkable film, glad to see it rank so high in the countdown.



I doubt Chinatown will be next. It is a top 5 movie on this forum due to it's extremely popularity. Between all these remaining movies I see Alien or Star Wars next. A Clockwork Orange is an outside possibility. I just can't see The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Jaws, or Chinatown outside the top 5.

I had Star Wars pegged for the seven spot.
