Shit Boyfriend Makes Me Watch vol 1

At least once a week, Boyfriend and I have a movie night. Maybe once out of the course of our relationship has he let me pick the movie. Well, after the most recent weird ass movie that he made me watch, I told him I was going to start blogging about the crap he makes me watch.

I'm going to try to do this every Saturday, but it may change from time to time. Then I'll rate the movie on a scale of 1-5, one being meaning the movie sucked big time and 5 meaning that you should stop what you are doing and go rent the damn thing.

The first movie I'm going to tell ya'll about is a 1975 film called One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

A very young Jack Nicholson (who annoys me to no end by the way) plays a man named McMurphy with several assault convictions and thinks that he can get out of doing work in prison by pretending to be insane. So he is sent to a hospital for help and actually fits in pretty well.

He tries to liven up the place and gets a lot of the other patients involved in things like card games and basketball. He also gets them into a lot of trouble. Oh and some of the other patients? Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, and Vincent Schiavelli. I didn't even know it was DeVito until Boyfriend pointed it out because he is just so young in the movie.

(Movie is not in B&W, don't worry)
Anyways, the head nurse pretty much gets tired of McMurphy's crap and gives him a bunch of shit. So he rebels even more and actually throws a party in the hospital after hours. He sneaks booze, cigarettes and girls through the window and they all participate in the festivities. At one point they start putting alcohol down a patient's feeding tube. It was pretty hilarious.

They all pass out and get caught the next morning and McMurphy gets into some serious trouble. Including electric shock therapy. I wish I could tell you the rest, but it would give away too much. I did actually end up enjoying this movie, which surprised me, since I don't like Jack Nicholson. So my rating?

I couldn't give it full three so I gave 2 3/4. And I kinda really suck at reviews. Sorry for that.
