  1. Fake Movie Facts: If you look colosely in the background of The Hospital (1971) you can notice a lobotomized Jack Nicholson being smotherted to death by a pillow ... . #FrightClub #TheHospital #OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest

  2. The film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", directed by Milos Forman and based on Ken Kesey's novel, was released fifty years ago today.

    I last saw the film donkeys years ago. It's now thought of as a classic of New Hollywood, but I have been thinking of it recently less in terms of film history and more with regard to its influence on mental health policy, attitudes towards psychiatric treatment, and hostility towards public institutions in general.

    I haven't researched the matter, but I suspect that influence might have been pernicious.

  3. One advantage of buying movies digital: free upgrades! If you buy a movie in HD, you get the 4K version for free upon release. No need to buy the movie twice. A very nice perk. Happens with movies I bought years ago, nice! #movies #4K #OneFlewOvertheCuckoo’sNest

  4. Thank you, @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social . Many years since I last saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, & never before on the cinema screen, which is a different experience.

    Amazing performances; not just Nicholson, but very young Brad Douriff (in one of his first major film roles) & Christopher Lloyd. Classic #film

  6. Nala's Favoritest Films #40 - "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest " (1975)

    I don't think there is a more evil character in all of cinema than Louise Fletcher's Oscar-winning performance as Nurse Ratched.

  7. Nurse Ratched didn't have a first name in the book. Louise Fletcher chose "Mildred".

  13. @Bullix Oh wow, I will have to check it out. I always enjoy it when you find a #trek actor in other things. Like the late Louise Fletcher who played Kia Winn in DS9 also played Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Thanks for the recommendation!
