One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

I've just revisited One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and must admit I had forgotten what a stimulating film it is. As a mental heath patient myself (no point being coy about it) I think I had told myself that this movie took liberties with an important topic. I was wrong - it is thought-provoking, affectionate and uniformly well-played. That final shot as the escaping Chief Bromden disappears over the horizon is arresting and all the better for the lack of dialogue. 8.5/10.
