WHY DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER WAS THE BEST 007 FILM :
simple....
Ian Fleming's Bond character was worldly, mature, suave...
but in the previous 007 f8lms, Sean Connery was too young...
in Diamonds Are Forever, Connery was finally the correct age for the role..
watching Diamonds Are Forever, you can smell Bond's cologne, and single malt scotch.

actually, Diamonds Are Forever was the first film to ever show Area 51
AND it shows them faking the moon landing!!
yep..... no shit
back in 1971, the movie featured a scene where Bond Escapes Area 51, and he runs through a studio where they're faking the moon landing
but 8kun is no longer allowing YouTube embeds
so watch it here :

oh.... damn....
I almost forgot :
it is my duty to teach you something
Seriously...
PAY ATTENTION :
BEST MOVIE EVER MADE :
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST
trust me.... WATCH THAT MOVIE
from beginning to end
or you'll never realize
that you never even saw
THE BEST FILM EVER MADE
absolutely 100% hands down, no question....
THE most perfect piece of cinematic art ever made
you owe it to yourself
to watch the movie
in fact, ever since I was 16, when I start dating a girlfriend, one of THE FIRST things I get out of the way ishaving her watch Cuckoo's Nest
because if someone doesn't like the film, that's a very, very bad sign
you can gauge people's personalities by getting their opinion of the film...
it's written by Ken Kesse, the LSD dude... he was one of the original Merry Pranksters back in the 60s
part of the "Electric KoolAid Acid Test" thing...
he's a genius... the book is great..m
BUT THE MOVIE ISAMAZING
it's Jack Nicolson's MASTERPIECE
it also has Danny DeVito in his first role, and Christopher Lloyd, and Louise Fletcher is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING as Evil Nurse Mildred Ratched
oh my god.... she's GREAT....
Billy Bibbit ?..... WOW !!the entire God damn movie is PERFECTION....
total perfection...
the very, VERY best

Filming began in January 1975 and lasted three months, taking place on location in Salem, Oregon, and the surrounding area, as well as Depoe Bay on the north Oregon coast. The producers decided to shoot the film in the Oregon State Hospital, an actual mental hospital, as this was also the setting of the novel. The hospital is still in operation (as of 2022), though the original buildings seen in the film have been demolished. The film was released on November 19, 1975. Considered by many to be one of the greatest films ever made, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is No. 33 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies list.
The film was the second to win all five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Actor in Lead Role, Actress in Lead Role, Director, and Screenplay) following It Happened One Night in 1934, an accomplishment not repeated until 1991 with The Silence of the Lambs. It also won numerous Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards. In 1993, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

SYNOPSIS:
When Randle Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) gets transferred for evaluation from a prison farm to a mental institution, he assumes it will be a less restrictive environment. But the martinet Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) runs the psychiatric ward with an iron fist, keeping her patients cowed through abuse, medication and sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. The battle of wills between the rebellious McMurphy and the inflexible Ratched soon affects all the ward's patients.
it's absolutely PERFECT

"In the autumn of 1963, Randle McMurphy is on an Oregon work farm for the statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl. He pretends to be insane in order to get himself transferred to a mental institution and avoid hard labor. The ward is dominated by head nurse Mildred Ratched, a cold, passive-aggressive tyrant who intimidates her patients."
it's really kinda impossible to describe HOW good it is

the film takes place in an insane asylum....
they filmed it in a real Oregon Menal Asylum that had been closed down...
in the movie, when McMurphy tries getting out of a prison sentence by pretending he's crazy, he is brought into a Hospital Administrator's Office for an initial evaluation...
the guy playing the hospital administrator is not a professional actor
his name was Dr. Dean Brooks
he was the real life administrator of the mental hospital that had recently been shut down, where they filmed the movie
He was playing the role of "himself"
And he's absolutely amazing in the movie
( a little Cuckoo's Nest trivia )

it's actually quite remarkable
all packaged neatly
"The producers decided to shoot the film in the Oregon State Hospital, an actual mental hospital, as this was also the setting of the novel.[18] The hospital's director, Dean Brooks, was supportive of the filming and eventually ended up playing the character of Dr. John Spivey in the film. Brooks identified a patient for each of the actors to shadow, and some of the cast even slept on the wards at night. He also wanted to incorporate his patients into the crew, to which the producers agreed. Douglas recalls that it was not until later that he found out that many of them were criminally insane."

Critics praised the film, sometimes with reservations. Roger Ebert said:
Miloš Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a film so good in so many of its parts that there's a temptation to forgive it when it goes wrong. But it does go wrong, insisting on making larger points than its story really should carry, so that at the end, the human qualities of the characters get lost in the significance of it all. And yet, there are those moments of brilliance.

Diamonds Are Forever :
I was 8 when I saw it the first time
I saw it several times in the theater
back then, it was safe for kids to walk around, or ride their bicycles around all day...
I used to go to the MALCO'S QUARTET Theater in Memphis, buy a children's matinee ticket, and sit in the theater until it was dark outside, and walk the three blocks back home...
I'd literally watch Diamonds Are Forever 3 times in a row, in one day...
then I'd go back the next Saturday and do it again...
that's the movie that inspired my "Johnny Neptune Sneaky Service Agent" cartoons I used to draw...
and no I don't have any of those old cartoons anymore
