Miloš Forman’s 1975 classic — one of only three films to ever win all five major Academy Awards — stars Jack Nicholson as a convicted criminal who fakes insanity to be admitted to a mental institution instead of prison. There, he finds kinship with the other patients as they suffer under the cold, abusive control of Nurse Ratched.
