That movie was so awesome. The ending is depressing, especially when Grima Wormtongue kills himself. I know I'm 30 years late, but I bought the movie for $5.50 at Wal Mart because I heard it was really good, and yes, it pwnd. What do you think of it?
Think while it's still legal.

A fantastic movie, although a little slow. One of the few movies that sort of kind of beats the book. Although, I'm biased as I had to read it for school and the teacher was a totaly *****.

I was quite impressed with it. Jack Nicholson makes for some truly memorable characters.

If you liked the movie, you'll probably love the book as well. It goes more in depth (as books usually do), and gives the story from The Chief's perspective.

I think it's a pretty good movie. It's not my favorite, per se, but it's not bad in any respect.

I thought the book was hard to read at first. And it had completely different narration.

I hope the people who only seen the movie do realize McMurphy got a lobotomy at the end? The book expands on this, if I remember.

At the END!? Am I totally not remembering correctly, or was the lobotomy what happened FIRST and the end was a flashback...

Er, actually... I need to see it again before I keep talking. Sorry.

There was a character called Grima Wormtongue in it?

My vote goes to awesome.
Sorry for the lousy German

I need to see the movie. I've only read that book, but it was quite good.

No, Brad Dourif is in it, who played Grima Wormtounge in LotR.

His character is called Billy.
