Milos Forman's acclaimed adaptation of the Ken Kesey novel. After
being imprisoned for statutory rape, an unrepentant Randle Patrick
McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is transferred to a state mental
hospital. Here he sets about leading his fellow inmates (including
Brad Dourif, Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd) in a revolt
against the cold and inflexible Nurse Ratchet (Louise Fletcher) and
the hospital's systematic oppression of its patients. The film won
five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Nicholson, Best
Actress for Louise Fletcher, Best Director for Milos Forman, and
Best Adapted Screenplay for Lawrence Hauben.
Re-cut edition of the horror classic featuring 11 minutes of
footage removed before its initial 1973 release, including the
famous Spider Walk sequence. Actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn)
is disturbed by the changes taking place in her 12-year-old
daughter, Regan (Linda Blair). At first sullen and withdrawn, Regan
becomes aggressive and blasphemous, and ugly welts appear on her
face and body. When no medical cure is forthcoming, Chris turns to
local Jesuit priest Father Damien Karras (Jason Miller) for help.
Karras is shocked by what he sees in the MacNeil home and calls in
exorcist Father Lankester Merrin (Max von Sydow), who confirms that
Regan is indeed possessed by the devil.

Actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) has every reason to be
content, having just completed a film with director Burke Dennings
(Jack MacGowran). However, she becomes disturbed by the changes
taking place in her 12-year-old daughter, Regan (Linda Blair). At
first sullen and withdrawn, Regan becomes aggressive and
blasphemous, and ugly welts appear on her face and body. No medical
cure is forthcoming, and after Burke is killed by being thrown from
Regan's window, Chris turns to local Jesuit priest Father Damien
Karras (Jason Miller) for help. Karras then calls in exorcist
Father Lankester Merrin (Max von Sydow), who confirms that Regan is
possessed by the devil. William Peter Blatty's screenplay, based on
his own novel inspired by actual events, won an Oscar, and the film
was deemed so powerful that it was refused a BBFC certificate for
fifteen years.
Charlotte (Winona Ryder) is a teenage girl growing up in the 1960s,
torn between her passion for a young man who works at the local
church and her desire - despite being Jewish - to become a nun.
Newly arrived in town, the tensions soon increase between
Charlotte, her swimming-obsessed younger sister (Christina Ricci),
and their man-eating mother (Cher) - a single parent who cannot
come to grips with her family. Features the hit single 'The Shoop
Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)' as performed by Cher.
Upon hearing that an old friend has died, a writer (Richard
Dreyfuss) reminisces about his childhood in the Fifties. As a
twelve-year-old boy, Gordie's (Will Wheaton) friends consisted of
'bad' kid Chris (River Phoenix), Teddy (Corey Feldman) and the
pudgy Vern (Jerry O'Conell). When the latter hears his older
brother bragging that his gang have seen the dead body of a local
missing person by the railway track, the four boys set out to find
the corpse for themselves. Rob Reiner directs this adaptation of
Stephen King's novella 'The Body'.
