Quote: "Which one of you nuts has got any guts?"

This 1975, Best Picture gem, based on a play and book feature two brilliant Oscar winning performances by Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher is a timeless classic directed by Oscar winner Milos Forman. Set in a Mental Institution, we follow the highly rebellious R.P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) who doesn't believe he should be in the institute, so does his very best to gather the other "loons" and bring down the dictatorship of the bitchy Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher).
