Roman Polanski directed this film set in 1940's Los Angeles before his wife, Sharon Tate was murdered by Charles Manson's Family' and before he fled the country to avoid charges of statutory rape of an under-aged starlet. Jack Nicholson plays a detective who is dragged into the middle of a mystery too large and too strange to describe. Along the way he encounters Faye Dunaway and John Huston and receives a nasty wound from director Roman Polanski. Lots has been said about the direction of Roman Polanski and the acting of Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway and John Huston in this classic (and I don't mean to diminish their accomplishments here at all) but major credit has to go to Jerry Goldsmith for the music, John A. Alonzo for cinematography, and Richard Sylbert for art direction. When you look at lists of best movies written by most critics you are bound to run into some that may be classics but are just plain boring, this isn't one of those. It's a classic film that is also a great movie!
I've seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest more times than I can remember and each time I view it again I'm struck by the parallels between it and the 60's hit Cool Hand Luke.
Jack Nicholson's McMurphy is very similar to Paul Newman's Luke in that they are both in a place where they don't really belong. McMurphy wasn't really crazy and Luke was really only guilty of destructive mischief. They also become the life of their new homes showing their new friends and fellow inmates that they are only broken if they choose to be broken by their jailers. And they both suffer the same fate....
In watching One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest its hard to imagine a film more deserving of the Oscars it received. I must disagree strongly with a previous comment by Brandon (horrormvfn@aol.com) who referred to Louise Fletcher's Nurse Ratched as "soft but strong willed." I consider her to be more of a psychopath than anyone in the movie. She has her ward running in a way that suits her and she isn't going to allow anyone to disrupt it. Just as McMurphy sets out in the beginning to get under her skin she resolves to destroy him to show who is really in control. If Nurse Ratched were a real nurse she would be guilty of malpractice for the things she does in this movie.
The ensemble cast of OFOTCN is a real treat to behold. If you haven't seen this one and choose not to you can't consider yourself a real movie fan.

Muriel's Wedding is a feel good movie for the outcasts of the world. That means most people of course. At some time in our lives we all feel like the one who is left out of everything. Muriel's life is like that. Her "friends" put her down constantly and her father reinforces it by telling her how useless she (and every other member of her family) is while boosting his own ego by bragging about his connections.
There is no life in Porpoise Spit for Muriel. So after a couple of catastrophic embarassments and a chance meeting with an old school chum and fellow outcast she moves to Sydney. There she reinvents herself and discovers that despite what has been said about her and some pretty bad things she has done she is still a good person. Muriel stumbles on the way but finally frees herself (as does her mother) from the oppression of her hometown, her father, and her life.
Muriel isn't a totally likeable character. She steals, lies, and at one point does a perfectly terrible thing to her only friend. In the end however, Muriel recognizes that despite her shortcoming, physical and spiritual, she isn't the worthless creature her classmates and father have told her she is. To the credit of the filmmaker's they didn't do a complete remake of Muriel in the film to make her a beauty at the end. She gets a better hair cut but for the most part the improvement on her looks comes from within.
Muriel's father on the other hand is a completely despicable man. A local politician who tries to impress everybody with his connections he also put considerable effort into the degradation of his wife and children. His motto, the same as the town of Porpoise Spit, is "You Can't Stop Progress" but he manages to stop the progress of everyone in his family except for Muriel.
This is a very enjoyable film and a good example of the idea that a movie doesn't have to be a big Hollywood production to be great. I'm glad that it was produced in Australia. If it had been done in France then Hollywood would have done a remake in English and probably ruined it.
