This is one of my favorite movies that I never tire of. Another one that I think you would like in the inspiration category is "Mask" with Cher from 1985. The original cut was my favorite one but is harder to find since the directors cut is mostly seen now. There is also a very special dog relationship in it as well. Much love.

2023-12-29 23:57:40 +0000 UTCThis is my last comment, or comment's, on here. I'll start with a couple actor's you also didn't recognize. First is the Chief. Played by Will Sampson, who also played Chief Ten Bears in "The Outlaw Josey Wales". Then there was the character Mr. Frederickson. Who was accused of taking another persons Medication. He also played Buggie Ding Dong, the sniper in "Death to Smoochey". You said something about the saying "Colder than Hell". Here's a couple for your thought's on. First, it's "Colder than a Witches tit". Then there's "Colder than a well diggers ass". LOL Then there were a couple thing's you never heard before. Like "Put a bug up her ass", which simply means to piss her off. Or when McMurphy said "You should be out bird dogging chick's and banging beaver. Put another way you should be out sniffing out the women and screwing them. That's as delicate as I can put it. Lastly, I am going to say this qualifies as much as "Die Hard" does as a Christmas film!! LOL. Remember, they had a Christmas tree set up during the party scene at the end. Thanks for looking all you great Patron's!! Happy Holiday's too!!!

But she totally got off on creating the chaos we saw in some of the scenes when patients would go off. She knew how to push buttons, and the look on her face of calm and bemusement was her truly enjoying getting people to play into her hand so she never lost control of any of them. And even though she definitely knew McMurphy was not someone who belonged on that ward, she wanted to say he did, just to imprison him within that life. He was on to her, which was why he told Dr. Spivey that she "ain't honest"

2023-12-22 15:14:42 +0000 UTCI love how much Danny DeVito ends up flying under the radar (pardon the pun) when people watch this the first time. And I've always found this to be a great double-feature with Cool Hand Luke.

2023-12-22 12:50:54 +0000 UTCDon't feel bad Brother J for not realizing Nurse Ratched was the personification of evil. Your attention is divided between paying attention to the film and entertaining us with talking and engaging the camera so I can see how you could miss some stuff. But also, they made her character a bit subtle so if you don't pay attention 100% you can miss it. She was a calm quiet character (for the most part) and that makes a great villain. IMO the casting director did a great thing by casting Louise Fletcher to play Nurse Ratched. She did an amazing job. She earned that Oscar she won for this role. :)

2023-12-22 03:18:05 +0000 UTCThe show you're thinking of J is "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" frequently just called Always Sunny or abv. IASIP

2023-12-22 01:06:21 +0000 UTCI think J was wondering about Brad Dourif aswell, he saw him recently in Mississippi Burns.

2023-12-22 00:14:34 +0000 UTCAs I understand it, this is one of only three movies in the history of cinema to "sweep" at the Oscars. A sweep is winning in these 5 categories: best movie, best director, best actor, best actress, and best screenplay. The movies were: It Happened One Night" (1934), "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) and "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991).
