1. a drug addict, especially one addicted to heroin.
2. a person with an insatiable craving for something:
a chocolate junkie.
3. an enthusiastic follower; fan; devotee:
a baseball junkie.
We were talking about "Movie Junkie", not a "Junkie" two different things. It would not be nice to call someone a "Junkie", as one could be refering to a drug addict.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesActually, the film (Cuckoo's Nest) is a departure from the book. Chief Bromden, thought to be a deaf mute, is the narrator and the protagonist, telling the story of his own life as well as the battle of wills between McMurphy and Nurse Ratched. The author, Ken Kesey, didn't like what Hollywood did to his book and reportedly refused to view the finished film, even though it won several Oscars.
Have you read and seen The World According to Garp? There was another movie that closely followed the book.
