Tell Us the Craziest Thing in Comics and Win a Digital Download of ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’
There are some movies that provide us with indelible characters and performances, few giving us more than one. Then there are movies that help reflect a decade of the American experience. But, there are few that do all of the above and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is one of those films.
Now, in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Academy Award winning film, it’s available for the first time as a download on iTunes with extras including all-new interviews with Michael Douglas and Deleted Scenes (starring Jack Nicholson). The Blu-ray edition of the film also came out this week so you have a choice.
For those unfamiliar with the story, it is based on the American literary classic by Ken Kesey. One Flew
Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is the powerfully dramatic film that took the
1975 Academy Awards by storm with its compelling tale about the triumph
of the human spirit and the fight for freedom.

One of the great joys of reviewing movies for ComicMix is being offered little gems I’ve never heard of, the movies that come and go too quickly to gain much attention. For example, take [[[$5 a Day]]], which sports a solid cast led by Christopher Walken – right there, you want to see this, right? Walken rarely repeats himself and is always fun to watch on screen. He’s backed by Alessandro Nivola, Peter Coyote, Amanda Peet, and Sharon Stone so it’s a good crew.
Fans in attendance at the fifth annual Star Wars Celebration got a sweet and soulful treat, when George Jefferson Lucas debuted the upcoming BET series, BlackStar Warriors.
