    Late this week, I know. Sorry about that, completely slipped my mind.

    It's a masterpiece of a film, and well deserving of a FotW, I've watched it many times myself, having owned it on VHS and DVD.

    Discuss.

    One of those films that I've never gotten around to watching. I bought it on DVD ages ago, I really must watch it one of these days.

    yeah, it was one of those movies that i'd never gotten round to watching until not too long ago. And I have to say it was fantastic. So many great performances in here, aside fomr Nicholson. It really is a must see movie!!! If you haven't seen it, go see it now, you can probably even buy it quite cheaply!

    An amazing film with brilliant acting from all involved, especially Nicholson who is brilliant in pretty much every role he plays

    Prefer the book myself, but still an excellent, disturbing film. Great cast as well. Nicholson, DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, that guy whos in a helluva lot of films and is rather odd looking and is now dead, unfortunately (RIP).

    This film features:

    One of the finest endings ever committed to film. I'm not giving anything away, but few film moments have greater emotional intensity than the ending of this movie.

    One of the greatest movie villians. Nurse Ratchett (sp?) is a character that will have vegan Buddhists baying for blood.

    Possibly the best performance by Jack Nicholson. It is either this or Five Easy Pieces, in my opinion.

    Great film. Should be seen and appreciated by all.
