Jaws vs. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest


the battle of 1975 fought anew! both nominated for best picture, with cuckoo's nest victorious...

Despite the fact that it changed so much of the story from the book, I choose Cuckoo's nest.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

tough call.

to this day i still can't enter any body of water without somewhere in the back of my mind thinking, i wonder if a shark will eat me?

but i'm going with Cuckoo's Nest. it's not the book, but it does a great job regardless, and that ending slays me.

I took an english class my freshman year at college about novels made into movies. It was my formal introduction to One Flew Over, and it impacted me in a big way.

I failed that class.

Cuckoo's. Jaws was great for it's time, but I was never that big on it.

This is the toughest one in the first round for me.  Jaws is the one that I'd prefer to watch at any given moment, but I think One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the better film.

either way, have to go with Cuckoo's nest
