One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

(1975)
No, this wasn't one of those fake Friday night deaccession candidates, where it has been 5 years since I screened something but I know I'm not going to give it away. My thinking tonight was that there must be some reason why I'd let so much time pass without watching this, and it certainly wasn't that I didn't look at the box a few hundred times. I started it thinking this my be the last time.

But no, I'm not ready to give it up quite yet. Much of it is calculated (and very successful, of course) Oscar® bait, but the astonishing cast is enough to carry the day. Call me crazy, but I'm keeping it.
