I avoided this movie for years, mostly because it looked incredibly misogynist.  I will say that the first quarter hour wasn't as bad as I feared, although still bad of course, reminding me of my low tolerance for Jack Nicholson.  This is based on the Ken Kesey novel and directed by Milos Forman.

I knew this movie wasn't for me, despite my soft spot for Latka on Taxi and even some of Kaufman's SNL appearances, when my favorite parts of the first quarter hour were Andy as a child and the "bad" Siamese twin joke.  Oh, and the stunt-casting of Danny DeVito.  Milos Forman directed.

A bitter old musician tells his life story to a sympathetic priest, but I couldn't listen to more than a quarter hour, although I sort of liked this movie as a teenager.  Not that it was bad this time, and I liked the touches of humor, but I wasn't really drawn in enough to wait around for the title character as an adult.  Milos Forman directed.
