1. I remember when seeing this movie I was so pissed PISSED I SAY at Nurse Ratchet. Reminded me of every pompous

arrogant, self righteous head nurse I ever worked with. Then I suddenly this is a MOVIE and the actress was excellent at bringing out emotion in the film... One of those "Ah Ha!" moments that have stuck.
