Watched this movie for the first time last night. I have no idea why I waited so long. Fantastic movie, and Jack was masterful.

It is outstanding.
One of the most moving, all time great endings. Stunningly poignant, encompassing tragedy, lost opportunities, seized opportunities, hope, humanity, life, death, the human spirit, freedom, imprisonment, fear, bravery, the unknown...all in a few minutes.
The acting is brilliant. The score is hauntingly beautiful.

Where did you watch?
Netflix has a new series out about Nurse Ratched called "Ratched," but my wife hasn't seen the original film yet so I'm hoping to watch that first.

I saw it several years ago and actually started Ratched last night.
In order to appreciate "Ratched" you have to realize there is little to no affiliation to the film, and that the events in Ratched take place well before the setting of Cuckoo's Nest. Once you realize it isn't a prequel, then you can watch/appreciate it on its own merit.

Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

My wife and I watched it again just before starting Ratched. It is one of a handful of movies I have owned on VHS, Laser Disc, DVD, and Blu ray (no UHD yet).
As an aside, I dated a girl in college who looked EXACTLY like Louise Fletcher. She leaned into it and we went to a Halloween party and she did her hair like Ratched and wore an old white nurses uniform and hat. The drunker I got the more freaked out I got. Woke up the next morning with a hangover and had to convince myself it wasn't from electro-shock.

Watched it again last night...been many years since I had seen it and it was every bit as good as the first time. The casting in this movie is one of the best ever. What a great movie that hits so many buttons as previously mentioned.

I went by where it was filmed recently

I'm pretty sure it is also one of only two movies in the last 50 years (1970-2020) to win Best Picture, as well as Best Actor & Best Actress.
I think Silence of the Lambs is the other Big 3 combo winner.

I always loved the scene where he tries to teach Chief to play basketball.
