October 22nd is International Stuttering Awareness Day; this day is in place to raise awareness for the millions of people who have the speech disorder of stuttering. With this day in mind, the theme for today will be films that have characters who contend with stuttering-enjoy!
1 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Director: Milos Forman
Based on the novel of the same name, tells the story of a convict (Jack Nicholson) who goes to a mental institution to escape jail; Film won several Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Nicholson and Best Actress for Louise Fletcher (who is great as dictator nurse)-movie was also nominated for a number of Oscars including Best Supporting Actor for Brad Dourif as troubled Billy Bibbit...
2 A Fish Called Wanda (1988) Director: Charles Crichton/John Cleese
Engaging comedy about a group of very different people who try to pull off an armed robbery in London; Kevin Kline is great as pseudo intellectual nut and Michael Palin is also good as tormented group member...
I hope that the above list of picks will provide hours of entertainment-enjoy!
